Living With Art

2012-12-29 07.55.02-1One of the most frequent questions I am asked as a full-time artist is, “Do you hang your art at home”?  And the answer is sure!  I live with my art.  I like it.  Sometimes I live with pieces to see if there is anything more I want to add or adjust before I varnish them which is the final thing I do to a finished painting.  And sometimes I live with them because I painted them specifically for an area in the home.  That is what this piece is all about.  I painted it for the spot above the TV stand at the Hilton Head house.  It shows the water and the marsh.  It fits nicely there.  And I am lucky that I have a partner who also likes my work and encourages it to be hung in our home.  🙂

Warm up 3 Warm up 4When I am on a roll painting I get up early and grab a cup of coffee and then generally take a sheet of watercolor paper divided into 6 or 8 pieces and do several quick warm-up paintings.  I try not to spend but about 15 minutes working on these just to help me loosen up and get some color ideas.  Sometimes I like what turns out.  Yesterday while cleaning up pile of old warm-ups I came across several I like.  I put them in a mat and liked them even more.  So here is Warm-up in Orange and Warm-up in Green, acrylic on watercolor paper, available for $25 each.
