Martha, over the years I have seen how you hang your beautiful abstracts in your home.

My living room walls are chopped up by doorways, fireplace, a half-wall beside the kitchen entrance, and a large window right in the middle of the front wall. And it's relatively small to begin with. But I do try to use the remainder of wall for the most impact. My most interesting gallery is along a narrow hallway. It doesn't have enough light, but I still enjoy it.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22918248.post-41871170196298453132017-10-21T13:27:15.589-07:002017-10-21T13:27:15.589-07:00I will definitely share that, Brig.

We can't afford all of the work I love but luckily Diane has kept her prices within an affordable range and considering their size and quality, that's a real gift to lovers of her work.Rain Trueaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07994628226501093880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22918248.post-57986611556031199742017-10-21T11:54:00.698-07:002017-10-21T11:54:00.698-07:00This was very interesting and informative, thanks ...This was very interesting and informative, thanks Diane & Rain. <br />Gave me pause to think about my painting choices and how they have evolved over the years. I've moved so much that I have only kept a limited number that have meaning for me. <br />Would love to see Rain's collection as well.Brighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11299215170393879517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22918248.post-68598897968035382542017-10-21T10:22:42.412-07:002017-10-21T10:22:42.412-07:00Exactly Rain, the pictures I select to hang at the...Exactly Rain, the pictures I select to hang at the library and senior assisted living facilities are geared to what the people there say they like. In my home I do not like hanging work I've done when I was releasing anger at whatever. When I am hanging work expecting clients i do not hang works that are family portraits.<br />My hope is, if there is interest shown in what I have learned about hanging paintings, I will illustrate more ways to create the feeling of spaciousness while hanging more paintings. The empty or relatively empty space increases the power of the paintings to be enjoyed.Diane Widler Wenzelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03922006154864449959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22918248.post-79286394501241266142017-10-21T07:54:57.878-07:002017-10-21T07:54:57.878-07:00The difference when it's the library is which...The difference when it's the library is which work goes with the main collection room, periodicals, etc.? Then when it's a senior living facility, do you take into account their being old as impacting what they'll like? A lot of us will never hang a work anywhere but we will see it and might look with more sophisticated eyes when we think the painter had a purpose to what they chose and where it ended up.Rain Trueaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07994628226501093880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22918248.post-91654856345368106022017-10-21T07:33:48.670-07:002017-10-21T07:33:48.670-07:00Rain,

I see how they work together as a group and what is interesting together. I make a paper map and plan where they will hang but invariably when the actually hanging occurs some changes in my plan usually occurs. I believe your home has some interesting ideas on how more art can be enjoyed if I may do a blog with examples your art collection and space would provide.Diane Widler Wenzelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03922006154864449959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22918248.post-48736039293857051702017-10-21T06:31:34.734-07:002017-10-21T06:31:34.734-07:00That was interesting to me.

I look forward to the rest of your tips. You might add one for how you decide where paintings should hang in a showing like the library.Rain Trueaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07994628226501093880noreply@blogger.com
