From the softly textured brushstrokes of
children in Easter pastels, to the bold
colors that may be Mom or Dad's favorites,
customize your giving for these upcoming
holidays by requesting certain color themes
that go with the decor of the room that the
painting will be displayed in.
We can create multiple images that capture just the right color expressions you have in mind. It's that easy. This is a sample of three different paintings created with the green and pink theme of the child's room. |

When planning what size of painting to put
on a wall, go as large as you can with blank
wall space on either side equal to about
three-eights the width of the art. Still not
sure? Take a piece of brown paper or
newspaper and cut it to the size of the
artwork you are planning to buy. See if,
dimensionally, it suits your wall space. One
large painting makes more of a statement than
a group of small paintings. (A tip from Linda
Paul)
If you have a huge open wall, you will want to work around your furniture using the general rule of covering 2/3 to 3/4 of that area with your artwork. But if you have a small bare wall (like in a hallway or between two windows), you can keep the space a little more open by using the next step. One guideline is to leave 3/8 of the width of your art on each side of your area. Got that? You may have to read it again (we did!). Here's another way to look at it: The art should take up 4/7 of the selected space. Since this isn't a fraction we see very often (if at all), use this math trick to get the size art you need: Multiply your wall space (in inches) by .57 (4/7 turned into a decimal). So say your area is 36 inches -- you want to look for art that's 20-21 inches wide. Easy, right? Now that you know what size you're looking for, have fun with it. And honestly, if you're a little over or under, no one will notice, as long as the piece is centered. (These ideas from David Travin) |

After getting reactions from several very
satisfied customers who have exclaimed that
their paintings were so much more beautiful
than they had imagined, it dawned on us that
perhaps our website examples weren't doing us
justice.
I have not only expanded the online gallery to show more painting examples that now include more categories of subject matter, but more importantly, have added an additional zoom feature that lets you really see a very close-up section of each. This helps you see the actual texture of the painting and how and why it varies from the original photograph. Take a peek and you'll say 'now I get it'! |
