That is why paintings last centuries and The News lasts minutes.

I thought I would share this with my Artist friends so you get a look at how we portray you when we are talking about your art and you the Artist. It is often a nice reminder of how others see you and think of you.

An Artist is a very important part of our social fabric not only as a recorder of the visible world around us but also a recorder of human emotions played out on the great stage of life.

Your work shows where you are or were at a particular place and time and wherever you were encountering in that journey is reflected into your work.

Artists are necessary as you are really, as a collective, I believe, the only truly honest interpretation of our world as you show it through your emotions and creative instinct and often you are unaware of doing so.

That is why paintings last centuries and The News lasts minutes.

Buying original Art III.

When you consider purchasing a painting, an original piece of Art, remember our first point, buy what you love.

The painting or sculpture that you are buying, is something quite unique, the work of a talented Artist that will increase in value over your lifetime.

You will become the owner of a work of Art, an original one of a kind piece, originating out of the creative life of the artist.

Demonstrating all the insight, the feelings, the trials and the Artists interpretation of how they see their world and their expression of it.

When you buy a work of Art you are buying into the life of the Artist and in a way you are getting some of the Artist in the purchase, all that the Artist has put into the painting and the journey that the Artist has been on, all the heart breaks and difficulties and the highpoints, to get to that place where they have been able to paint this particular work.

Part of the Artists journey of discovery is revealed within the particular work you purchase.

Happy collecting.
