Placement of Paintings

sold

Yesterday afternoon, the above pair of classical oil landscapes was acquired from my home studio. These particular works are 8" x 10" on archival canvas painted in the same color palette. Ornately framed, outside dimension of each measure 17"h x 19"w.

The originals were created to hang one over the other as shown in the studio photo above, or next to each other in an entryway, living room, dining room, den, bedroom and hallway. They create a statement when welcoming guests to step further into one's home, and depart peacefully as well. They can also provide guidance directing one to other locations within a home. And at times, they provide quiet companionship when one prefers a few moments of contemplation.

Small sized paintings such as these, often speak volumes over larger works because they embellish ones imagination with a sense of tranquility due to their composition and exquisite autumn hues. In this way, unique light glows within the work and is reflected outward when color changes every hour of the day and season within a room.  A painting then becomes a breath of life itself.  It is my intent to create works that project those feelings within others when viewed. If those feelings are not within an artist's nature, paintings are silent; non-dimensional. And if those feelings are not within the viewer's nature, it will not be seen.

These paintings were hung in my patron's formal living room and graciously shared by sending a photo shortly after. It is how they choose to place their new paintings in their beautiful home that's exceptionally special. I'm flattered through this experience because it warms my heart knowing that this pair of classical oil landscapes is treasured not just from yesterday, but for many years to come.
