Does this piece of art work in my room (w/pics)?
Q
Comments (55)
I love the first and last stripe! I like the way the line draws your eye up and the last one is simple enough to not compete with the rug or the armoire. the one I picked was tough; there were so many that had your colors in them at Horchow! That one seemed to go more with your rug (which looked red, gold and brown on my monitor!)because it didn't have any green, but in the end I was thinking it had a subtlety that might work. having all of the colors represented is probably your best bet, though- it definitely brings your eye all the way around the room in a nice way. IMHO, you can't make your walls look too tall. Drawing the eye up is almost always a great thing. And I think some height will balance out the weight of the armoire as well. but only you can see how things look in person! clearly you have great taste!

Would this art work in my living room?
Q

The wall color is SW Ramie. The chair was my grandmothers, and it is just sort of a placeholder right now. I have been searching for new chairs. I would really like to get 2 chairs, but I am unsure how to arrange everything. I would also like to get a new rug--I've been coveting a real hand-knotted forever. The current rug is very nice, 100% wool Couristan machine woven. It is in the same line as My3dog's lovely living room rug. They have been selling this line of rugs in the last year at Tuesday morning for less than half price. It doesn't come off quite as pale in person. I want to eventually move it into my bedroom, where it will be perfect. Does anyone have recommendations for a rug? What color scheme? I really like some of the orientals that are a bit more modern without a really tight or busy pattern. Something maybe like this: This rug is from Williams Sonoma home, and is way out of my price range at over $2K. Is it possible to get a hand-knotted for around $1K? I need at least an 8x10.

The texture and subtile color of the tin piece is really nice and goes very well with the furnishings. Great find.

you do not have to start a new thread for each one using the new image file upload option. On your current thread here each time you hit the reply box you have the option to add another photo so they would all be here in this one post.

they are wonderful what are the done with what medium?

I just looked at all the ones you've posted today. I remember some of the earlier ones you posted years ago and I think these are much better. They're more detailed and the owl is wonderful, very different.

You could do really good line work for tattoos, your lines are so straight and strong, you would likely do some really awesome pin striping and line work on cars and motorcycles. Have you ever thought about that or tried it. I can tell you it pays extremely well, even if you did it part time.

Sam, your paintings are wonderful! I hope you have good luck at the show.

The owl and number 2 are my favorites. I agree with maire_cate that your work has greatly improved over the years. Thanks for sharing!
