I am a professional photographer, which means having pretty pictures to go on the wall isn't hard. I'm still on the fence as to whether or not it is too self-congratulatory to have one's own art on the walls, but I figure I can always sell the prints if I get bored or change my mind. Top photo (long exposure) will go over the mantle, middle photo (on the sand) will go in our new pipe and board unit, and the last unit (turquoise tide) will probably go in the kitchen. White frames for the first two (I like white on white), and I'm undecided on the third.
dude, i hang my painting's all the time and my friends work as well. most of the art folks I know do the same.
ReplyDeleteI ask my painting student's all the time while they are making work "would you hang this on your wall?"
Making something and living with it can be hard, but sometimes you make something good enough to hang and really look at. Plus it helps out with storage...
