How to choose the right painting for you

How to choose the right painting for you

Getting an original piece of art for your home is a wonderful and joyful event. However, it sometimes is tricky to choose if there are multiple candidates. 

Follow your heart and you gut instinct. And this can just mean that the colors sing in your eyes, and would look lovely in the space you imagine for it. But, sometimes we might also want to spend some time getting to know the artwork, and really look at it. To me, the best paintings are the ones that tell me something a little bit different each time I see it. I might notice different things, or I might have a different emotion when I look at it. 

I believe that the important thing is to get something you know you are going to want to look at every day, and love it.
