Because I am not only an artist but an art collector, I decided to start a wall in my studio for some of the paintings I have recently acquired from different artists across the country. Most are small format, 6"x6" or a little larger, and all are from artists whose work I love a lot! I will add to it as time goes on and as money is available :). I included close ups below with the artists in case you would like to check out their work too!
These are from artist Michael Chamberlain
The fabulous artist, Laurel Daniel, who has been so
helpful and supportive to me in my art journey so far!
Artist Cathleen Rehfeld does beautiful work and also teaches in her area!
The final photo shows a painting on the left by artist Tim Horn, who I have had the pleasure of studying with in a workshop in Atlanta. Also pictured is the work of artist Carol Schiff, who is masterful in her use of beautiful brushstrokes and paint application in all of her paintings!
There are MANY other artists out there whose work I would love to own, and plan on continuing to collect as I can. I feel the art not only inspires me but brings a sense of light and joy to my studio, and makes it such a wonderful place to be!
Loved seeing all these artists framed and on the wall! We share favorites! Really nice to see!
ReplyDeleteCool! Great idea!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely idea! And a great way to recapture the momentum from a workshop.
ReplyDeleteI agree that it brings a sense of light and joy to your studio. The only two I have so far are the two from our Carol Marine workshop in Dec. They make me happy every time I look at them.
