With the new season here it was time to do some spring interior redecorating. A big part of the job involves swapping out artwork in the living and family rooms. For example, this snow scene, painted by Hubby Tony's great aunt many years ago:
I love the memories it brings back, but the subject matter doesn't feel appropriate any more. The painting was relegated to a closet in the basement until next fall.
The new pieces are bright, flowery, and invoke the new season. Like this one:
When the changing of the artwork project was done I stepped back and took a look around. The whole thing only took fifteen minutes, but it made such a difference!
Five years ago today: In Like A Lion, Out Like A Lamb--Hardly!
I wish we had enough paintings and artwork to be able to change them with the seasons. Ummm... Then again, we don't have much of a season to think about in Hawaii.
ReplyDeleteI wonder how inappropriate a snowy picture would look in a tropical setting?
DeleteI do the same with my seasonal flowers, got lazy about the art. Welcome spring!
ReplyDeleteIt's funny...except for when they come down at Christmas time my flowers stay up all year long. I think it's because (unlike flat artwork) they take up too much storage space.
DeleteWinter is still going strong here, with no end in sight. In fact the extended forecast is for colder than normal temps through the end April and tons more rain. Maybe if I had a winter painting to put away, the weather here would take note and brighten up too!
ReplyDeleteI like winter and summer when they arrive, but by the end of both seasons I am SO ready for them to be over! Try to stay warm and dry.
