How is Original Art Like Parmesan Cheese?

Afternoon Duchess

What do you think of when you think of parmesan cheese? Do you think of the granular stuff that shakes out of a can or do you think of the aromatic, firm and buttery taste of real sliced parmesan?  One kind grits between your teeth but the other is a true taste experience.
 
Original art is like real parmesan cheese. In the art world, it is a true taste experience. The colors are richer, the light reflects from it differently, the lines are more expressive. It can not compare to the flatness of reproductions.
 
It the same difference between a CZ and a real diamond ring. At first glance you can enjoy the bling, but a CZ does not have the deep fire of a true diamond.  I've had many people proudly show off their family heirloom diamond, but no one has ever boasted about their family CZ.
 
Life is too short not to enjoy the real thing.
 
"Afternoon Solo with the Duchess" is an original acrylic painting on canvas by Berge Missakian.  You can see more of his art at Missakian.

I was fortunate in that my parents gave me art for my birthday and Christmas presents. It has been many years and my presents of clothes and toys have disappeared but I still enjoy the beautiful works of art. Let us know how we can help you create family memories and heirlooms.
 
Sincerely,

Everyone at Seaside Art Gallery
