Have you ever struggled with finding a connection to art? Or hemmed and hawed over what to put on a blank wall? Have you ever found yourself absolutely mesmerized by a painting?
Well, I'm here to tell you that I too have struggled with selecting the perfect piece for a space as well as pondered over how I was going to incorporate THE. PERFECT. ARTWORK.
For some, taking a liking to artwork comes as natural as breathing. For others it can be a real stretch to find artwork that "speaks to them". I can't tell you how many times my walls have sat, blankly staring back at me, waiting for that "pièce de résistance".
But, unlike my natural self, I am incredibly patient when it comes to finding the perfect artwork to place in my home. It must be the right size, scale and proportion to both the wall and room it will be hung. It must be the right color, texture and contrast for the space. And it must be meaningful. Now, for some, that last part isn't equally as necessary as the other criteria. But for me, I want to LOVE my artwork every time I pass by or give it a casual glance.
So, what might take others a split-second to decide on, I will take my time...like a fine wine, to find the perfect piece of art. In fact, I've been living with a blank living room wall for over two years. And only recently brought home the most amazing piece to hang above our sofa. It has incredible dramatic texture and is absolutely a statement piece. I want conversation to happen because of THIS PIECE. And it is so significant, I can't believe how fortunate I am to have happened upon it. Well, I waited for a good sale and used a credit I had...but all thriftness aside, I absolutely LOVE looking at my new wall art. And that is how you should feel about any artwork you surround your home with. So, if you don't...drop me a line and let's find you that perfect masterpiece.
