| A favourite oil... |
Since selling the cottage, I have brought home some of the items that we didn't sell with it, including all the art.
It worked well up North with all the moody colours and Northern landscape, however, my home has most walls covered, which leaves a rather overabundance of art.
Since it can take me two years to hang one piece, this process may take a while.
For now, I have leaned them all against the living room wall waiting for inspiration. Or the cat to knock them all over like dominos as she seems to like to squeeze in behind them
I love the oils by Canadian artists, but they aren't fitting with this house, and will be even less at home in Florida.
Do you think art needs to work with the decor, or should you buy what you love?

Wow, you have some beautiful pieces! I say live with it all on the fall until the inspiration hits and buy what you love...always buy what you love and it will work...otherwise, it looks like a showroom.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on selling the cottage!
Sarah's a wise woman. Listen to her. m.
ReplyDeleteI say buy what you love. I too have an over abundance of art. Some is in a closet in the garage. I have the walls filled with such a variety of things (plates, oars, you name it) that I just can't hang all the artwork.

your mind when the
weather gets hot!
