Original Art

One of the best gifts I ever received that I have treasured for more than 30 years - a 9" x 12" original impressionism landscape.  It was probably $100 or less - all my sister could afford for a Christmas present at that time.  It hung above my sofa in my first home - and yes, it was dwarfed by the wall, the beat-up couch, and the huge expanse of gold shag carpet.  But - I still have that painting today.  It has been moved from house to house, room to room - now it hangs proudly in our powder room - for all to enjoy who visit long enough to use the restroom!  Although I've received and purchased larger, more expensive pieces to showcase throughout my home - that one piece got me started on the road to buying original artwork.  A piece that was lovingly created by 1 person (not a factory).  A beautiful reminder of the part of the country I no longer live in (Kansas wheatfields).  And that piece got me into galleries (all price points, all genres) to search for more meaning in my home and on my walls. 

Art is one of the few purchases you're likely to enjoy for the rest of your life - and it'll remind you of all those wonderful places, times, moments and interests for years to come...

Originals - small & large

 Lindsay O'Keefe (North Carolina) creates small wonders from precious stones in earrings for young and young-at-heart!  $25.00 each - great originals for holiday giving.

Lindsay's more ambitious works include this Swarovski bead & crystal necklace - gorgeous!  We love having Lindsay O'Keefe's delicate pieces in the gallery

An Exciting Week!

Hello everyone!

This week we are preparing for our BIG December event - Hope for the Holidays!  This will be our biggest charity event yet, so it's something not to miss!

This time of year, during the Holidays, it is important to remember that not everyone has what they need - especially and including children.  Hope for the Holidays is an event sponsoring homeless and needy children in Atlanta!  With art, food, entertainment, and friends, it should be an evening to remember and a wonderful time!  The event is THIS Thursday (the cocktail party) from 6-9, continuing Friday and Saturday inside the Art House!
