Who chooses the art work in your home

8 years ago

I have artwork that appeals to a predominantly male audience. I often get feedback that the lady of the house makes the art buying decisions.

Its a joint decision

If one likes it the other lives with it

My partner says it wont go with the decor

I purchase the artwork because I love it.

We have some bonkers stuff around - cameraless photos of mushrooms by the very talented Susan Derges. Jason Martin's painting on aluminium. The spectators triptych - I've always refused to sleep in that guest bedroom because of the creepy feeling that they would be staring at me all night. Some scary Kabuki prints (they really scare me!! I told him we are divorcing if those prints leave his office): And many more (iSAW, you are to blame for encouraging me to post photos... I just love posting photos...) :))

working studio for art work

I’m guessing that you’re after advice on alternative lighting if the natural daylight source is restricting. I’ve worked in a few studios and the best ones tend to have lots of angled roof windows north facing but diffused so the natural daylight was evenly spread and with the addition of fluorescent tube lights (the type you get in garages) for dark times of year. All depends on what type of creative work you’re doing as well. There are plenty of artificial light sources for specific tasks but choosing the right kind of light can be tricky, this might explain more: https://willkempartschool.com/art-studio-lighting-design/ When I used to hand mix colour dyes I had to compare samples in different lights but outside the back door (north light but in shadow) was better for truer colour match.

Help….subjects for art work in a kitchen?
Q
Comments (4)
So sorry, I forgot to thank you for your comments. I am attaching the artwork I am going for. I will use a light oak or white frame. The oak suits the picture but the white ties in more with the kitchen. I investigated getting the poster professionally framed with double mounts and a lovely frame but I think that may be overkill in a kitchen….the cost was certainly overkill!
