Browsing, browsing, browsing

So many paintings!

You have looked, watched, and listened carefully to each work of art. Each painting has its own voice and its own distinct vibe and motion. The only way now to make your decision on which ones and where to put them is to have them home with you. The better art galleries will permit, encourage actually, you to view the paintings in your own home. Each client is different and unique, but each one has always selected the best painting that has suited thier enviormnent. I love that part of my job--it is kind of like matchmaking, finding the perfect pair. The best path to success is to go ahead and have the paintings in your home.

A home show will bring out the personality of the work. The paintings will be outside of the gallery so they will be away from all the competing themes and colors and subjects. The true brilliance of the painting will shine once it is in the home. It will be in your own personal comfort zone, your furnishings, your architecture, your traffic pattern of life. Here is the chance to walk the painting through your home--how does it look over the mantel? Maybe it is better peeking from around the piano. Is it visible through multiple doorways? Again, and I will be saying this from time to time, enjoy this moment of getting to know your painting.

This is the time to make your final selections. Hopefully you have a helpful sales associate with you to help you hold paintings in place and give thoughtful criticsim to the placement. The painting won't be hung today, but you will know where it is going. Now all you have to do is pay for the piece and it is all yours!

Congratulations! You have purchase a piece of artwork that you will enjoy for many years to come.
