Wall Art Above a Sofa
Comments (3)I'm thinking you should move it to a space where the top doesn't have to come so close to the ceiling. Pretty room, by the way!...See MoreArtwork Above Large Sectional
Comments (4)Does the local artist have another piece available? Or is that out of your budget for now? If you have to find something inexpensive now, I'd consider a large engineering print from your local Staples. If you have an Ikea near you, buy the largest frame there you can afford and have an engineering print made to fit.

Artwork?
Comments (8)Yes. And a shelf or long, narrow console table so the sofa isn’t jammed up against the walls. That’s a large sofa. Let it breath. Jammed against the walls it looks like you bought a sofa too big for the room and have shoehorned it in (which isn’t true)....See MoreI'll show you mine, if you'll show me yours......

Comments (70)I tried to post and found all my air-dropped files were in a format that would not post. Will have to find time to redo them. But my art is so different -- some "fine" and a lot of contemporary and folk art. This was the only one that worked and I took it down towait, but in case I don't make it back (I am behind on an 8 week course and trying to get caught up) -- this will be my one contribution. This is titled Angels from Above and was painted in response to the attack on 9/11. It hangs in my LR where I have an Americana folk piece, a new still life that may not have found its permanent home and some other contemporary art. It's an eclectic grouping with the link being rich saturated colors. The sofa is midnight velvet and the chairs are natural linen, both treated as neutrals. The background is an inset above the mantle that was painted for another painting when this was in DR. It isn't terrible with the painting, but were painted the walls and now I want to pick a new color for the inset and different painting....See MoreKaillean (zone 8, Vancouver)
