Monday, March 12, 2007 Peter Howson Interview
Read a really interesting interview with Peter Howson at the weekend. I had no idea the man suffered from a form of autism. I remember seeing one of Howson's paintings in a gallery several years ago and thinking how stunning and bold it was, though a little bit scary and I wouldn't want it on my living room wall. The article is a real insight into the mind of a successful artist and makes good reading.
Monday, March 05, 2007 Using Original Art To Sell Your House
The Scotsman newspaper has an article on how a well chosen piece of art can help boost the saleability of a property by 10%. Although it would be nice to think this is the case, it probably only affects the saleability if everything else in the house is pristine in the first place. Anyway, hooray, original art sells houses!

Who am I? I'm Adam Christie. I love looking at art, all types of art. I comment on it in my own way. I despair at art snobbery. There is no need for it. Occasionally I even pick up a brush myself, despite not having an art degree! That's a hanging offence in some art circles.
This blog is just a bit about the art I come across on my travels and maybe some stuff about my own painting experiences. Hope you find it useful. Contact me! Text Link Ads script error: local_90713.xml does not exist. Please create a blank file named local_90713.xml. |
