What goes on the walls in a house is akin to jewelry and accessories on a person. Because I am on a tight budget, the original artwork in my house is mine. I also have a love for mirrors (which make appearances everywhere) and look forward to purchasing some art when I have the funds to do so. In the meantime, I have piles of work sitting around doing nothing. Part of the problem is the prohibitive cost of framing things properly but it's not a good enough excuse. There are a few frames in the basement (in need of spray paint and new hardware) that are calling out to be hung. Here is some of the work contending for spots.

Man Sitting Contour, vine charcoal on vanilla newsprint~
(maybe a contender for the downstairs hallway)
~
Large Scale Salt, charcoal on paper~
(hoping this is just the thing for the smallest kitchen wall)
~
Parisian Pigeon, watercolor on arches~
This is one of 3 paintings in a series based on photographs taken in Paris of a pigeon taking a bath (says something about James and me that this was one of the highlights of the trip). Because there are 3 paintings that require hanging in a row I have yet to find the perfect spot but continue to search.

Hi Lia,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the blog comment! After that post I did end up losing another 20 pounds in a few months and getting much closer to my goal. Of course, things are going a bit more slowly now so I can always use encouragement and wisdom!
Love your blog - I'm a big fan of inexpensive original artwork and mirrors, too. Good decor makes all the difference!
