Hanging small works …


I love it when one of my collectors sends me photos with my work hanging on their walls.

Recently one of my collectors sent me these photo's of some small shell paintings she had recently purchased.  Don't you think these look great?

When you have a number of small items to hang there is always the question 'do I hang one or two together and hang the others on another wall' ….. or even hang them in another room.

I think she came up with the perfect solution to hang them vertically between two doors where there is just a few inches of space.

I love the look of these all hanging one on top of the other.

Do you ever have small works to hang and you don't quite know where to hang them?

  5. Thanks Donna, I thought she was so clever to find a spot that was perfect for the work. I'm not sure I could have thought to hang them there.

  7. Oh Linda you are so right …. I think the artist becomes attached in some way and feels you will always see your work on your easel etc. Its refreshing to see it in someone else's home.
