My art history and design classes really pull at my heart strings when I visit museums or go to gallery openings. I am a little bit of a snob when it comes to art; I would rather have originals or bare walls and nothing in between. I can't see hanging a print of a Monet or the like just to fill space. Art is one of the few things in life that I am patient about; I can browse a gallery for hours and really stand and look at paintings and portraits and photographs for hours on end and it not bother me a bit. There is a huge painting at one of my favorite stores in Wilmington, Paysage, that is gorgeous, but I don't have the funds for it. I stop by every few weeks to check on it, and after almost two years, I still love it.
I think that art is one of the most personal choices you can make in your home, so when you are buying art, really commit to the style. Gray and I have collected pieces on our travels to Costa Rica and Key West and New York and each time I see them, I remember the experience that we had on that particular vacation. I am really looking forward to continuing this tradition so that one day our home is filled with art treasures from around the world.
