Mixed Media Art Auctions
Mixed media art auctions have a lot to offer. Today I found several seriolithographs. I liked the colors that the Polish artist Zamy Steynovitz used.
The fun part of mixed media art auctions is that you just never know what you?ll find. I found a pebble art piece from the 1960?s that featured a bare-chested chariot driver cracking a whip. The piece also had three horses. The medium of pebbles was very interesting.
Children?s Art Paintings
Children?s art paintings are fun to look at. They bring me good feelings. I have had a lot of jobs the last couple of years buying children?s art to hang in various places. I have enjoyed every single job.
I bought two children?s art posters for the children?s hospital to hang in one of their waiting area. They were both from Maurice Sendak?s book Where the Wild Things Are. I loved that book when I was a kid and this art brought back some good memories.
Religious Paintings for My Gallery
I have a gallery that a local businessman financed. He wanted a place on the town square that featured religious paintings. I?ve been busy buying religious painting for several years. I have found some very nice pieces and I have a lot of people purchase paintings that I?ve found.
One of my favorite artists is someone that I actually stumbled across when I was buying religious paintings. He was not famous, but he had some of his pieces at a local show. I found that he primarily paints and sells his work on the internet.
Buying Paintings for Relatives
I have found that people buying paintings for relatives usually have a very specific thing in mind when they set out shopping. It is very rewarding to find just the right painting for a space that really needs it. Sometimes color is the only consideration.
Content is also very appropriate to consider. If you are buying a painting for someone that has very distinct tastes, it is important to keep that in the forefront of your mind. The painting of a rooster might be great for one relative but not for another.
Musical Themed Paintings
Musical themed paintings can be fun to find and fun to buy. I have a musician friend that recently purchased a new home. She bought new furnishings and asked me to find a new painting for her. I found her a fabulous creation by Osnat. It was an enormous, gallery size painting.
My friend?s new furnishings were very contemporary and the Osnat musical themed painting I bought for her was breathtaking when all five parts were mounted. The musical staff ran the length of the painting with musical notes painted on it. The painting had pretty shades of yellows and oranges. It looked so elegant.
