Art on your walls...

[RC1807]

^^^ Is the first image the inside of your bungalow?

[alpha channel]

Nah , that one is the corridor just off the first photo (right hand side), the bungalow however is surprisingly light, the darkest room, the studio, is 15ftx10ft with a sun room stuck on the only external light source - sliding doors, it's going in there between the small library of art books that I have/inherited from my Grandad.

I do however want a print of this for the Living room -

or this (or both)


Peter Elson paintings, the art of my formative years thanks to my parents buying me Spacebase 2000 (hooked on sci-fi art ever since, which makes up the bulk of the previously mentioned library).

I'm After a canvas print of a Jackson Pollock - one of the grey / mono Ines.

Any suggestions invest place for this?

[Nick_MSM]

New one for me (on the right). I say new...I bought it about 8 months ago and put it away, my dad had it framed unbeknown to me for my xmas present. It's a screenprint from 1982 by Albert Irvin, RA.

David Rees canvas print purchased today to liven up a wall in our new build.

I'm thinking of getting one of those NASA posters printed up, The Grand Tour one. There's a place online, Redcliffe Imaging, that print anything you want on whatever you want, I just wondered if anyone knew what would be the best paper / finish to print on?. I don't want a poster, I want a print on Hahnemuhle, I'm just not sure what the best finish would be but I'm looking at matt smooth so thinking either Hahnemuhle Bamboo or Hahnemuhle Photo Rag, any input welcome. At £25 for an A2 print it seems a bargain!

^ more proof that some art is utter nonsense

[RDMcG]

I have a bit here and there around the place...here is a bit of a sample. Much different stuff in the Arizona house though.

Bought this one for above the kitchen table. (Need to change the wallpaper as I'm not a massive fan anymore)



This one is on the plain wall in bedroom 2.



Hanging in the office.



Hanging in the lounge.



The red one in the kitchen and the blue b2 one are limited run Debra Stroud prints. The office one is a limited run A K Whatmore print. And finally the the poppies in a field in the lounge is a John Lewis special.

You have very good taste. Some lovely pieces there.

On a completely different, but PH note, I'm a bit of a DSC fanboi. Sadly not on my wall, but if I had £8k and a wall big enough...

[Evoquative]

We have a number of works by this artist, just love the quality, an oil painting that people mistake for a photo!

[Unexpected Item In Bagging Area]

We commissioned this oil of our house from local artist John McCombs

Talking of art on walls - I had a friend who comes from a family of reasonably successful Italian artists (i.e. they made a living from it), he has plenty of his father's work on his walls. We were chatting at his house one day and I mentioned that I went to the Goya exhibition at the Courthauld. He casually said "Oh, I've got a load of Goya etchings in the loft", and proceeded to pull out a load of Goya stuff he had hidden away.

It's my mission to fill my house with art, I just need to stop posting on internet forums and work harder so that I can afford more, and greater works

That particular oil is French dated 1904 and luckily is in its original frame.

An old one has finally made it's way to the wall in the new house....

And a couple I've sneaked past SWMBO as long as they are only in the downstairs toilet.



Bought another Paul Kenton at the weekend, but will wait until it's arrived and up before posting a picture.
