Children’s Art Paintings

Children’s art paintings are fun to look at.  They bring me good feelings.  I have had a lot of jobs the last couple of years buying children’s art to hang in various places.  I have enjoyed every single job.

I bought two children’s art posters for the children’s hospital to hang in one of their waiting area.  They were both from Maurice Sendak’s book Where the Wild Things Are.  I loved that book when I was a kid and this art brought back some good memories.

I found a Jim Daly children’s art print to frame and put in the physical therapy lounge at a local rehabilitation center.  They wanted to put together a friendly feeling place that would help keep kids entertained.  I put the painting where parents can read.

I was asked to hang children’s art along a long hallway in a home I was decorating.  I thought that this was an odd request because there weren’t any kids living there and the home had a very stark and cold feel to it.  It was definitely the minimalist style this homeowner had that left me puzzled.

The children’s art paintings that I ended up choosing for the hallway were all from the same artist.  The artist specialized in mini paintings and they were all so simple and beautiful.  They actually fit with the owner’s style.  I had each painting put into a simple frame with no matting and hung them all along the long hallway.

I actually liked this artist so much that I purchased twice as many children’s art paintings than I needed to complete the hallway job.  I plan to give these paintings as gifts to people that I know with either a child or a whimsical spirit.  I even liked the artist’s name, Lollipop Art.

I was asked to add some decorations to a family’s daughter’s room.  The family was extremely active and bicycling seemed to be the primary family exercise.  I thought it would be fun to find some children’s art painting that depicting cycling in a fun way.  I found an acrylic signed by the artist of a woman on a bike with a child and a yellow balloon.

I had a client call me asking about buying a children’s art painting by artist Stephanie Bauer.  The painting was called Dragonfly.  I did find the painting and also found that it was not for sale.  Fortunately, there is a fine art print made from this painting.  My client was more than happy to purchase the print and have it framed in an extremely nice frame.  It hangs in her daughter’s room now.  She loves it because it is pink!

I was hired to find a painting for the waiting room at a local dance studio.  I found that all of the classes were for children, so I looked for a children’s art painting to hang there.  I found one called Little Girl Ballerinas.  It was very colorful and whimsical.  The owner of the studio loved it.

I was hired to redecorate three girls’ bedroom.  The family had three daughters that all wanted children’s art paintings on their walls.  Each had a distinct personality and interests that didn’t overlap with the other two.  The first girl received an acrylic painting called Sports Girls.  This sister is the one that is very athletic.

The next sister is very interested in entomology.  She is very shy and quiet.  I found a children’s art painting for her that she really liked.  I could buy the actual watercolor from Pily Torres, so I bought a reproduction that looked great after it was framed.

The third sister was completely immersed into dancing.  I found a gorgeous children’s art painting of a folk art ballerina that had several different pinks in it.  It looked great without a frame and she was really happy with it.

The most recent job I had wanted something really unique.  They wanted a children’s art painting, but they were more interested in an extremely large mural.  I found one that the family really liked that depicted a fantasy scene.  It looks like there is a castle in the background and a unicorn in the foreground is leaping.  I liked what it added to the room, it was the perfect choice.

Way to Buying Abstract Paintings

Buying and collecting abstract painting can be a labor of love.  I love abstract paintings.  I think that my favorite medium is gouache.  I recently purchased a work from Oscar Bluemner.  The person I bought the abstract painting from had it in storage for over twenty years.  I am going to hang this piece in my office.

I found an oil abstract painting that was dated 1947 that was painted by Louis Bassi Siegriest.  I liked the composition, it felt oddly soothing.  The artist signed the back of the painting.  It was a little out of my price range, but I bought it anyway.

Trade Winds is the name of an abstract painting I bought from the artist Joanne Riddle while I was in Connecticut.  The piece was huge and I had to have it sent by freight to my home.  The blue in the painting was so vivid.  The whole composition was absolutely inspired.

I bought an abstract painting for my sister-in-law last year.  The artist of the piece was Leonardo Nierman and the medium he used was oil.  I bought the piece unframed and took my sister-in-law to framer to choose the frame.

I tried to buy an abstract painting from the mayor of our town.  I offered him two thousand dollars for the modernist abstract colorful figure.  The artist used red, white and blue and I wanted to acquire this for my stepmother.  She would have loved it, but the mayor was unwilling to part with it.

My mother has decorated her home in a style that she liked in Santa Fe.  I bought a large abstract painting for her from her favorite artist, Lou Monti.  She has seen his work in a number of homes and always raves about them.  She was so happy when she saw the painting I bought for her hanging on the wall of her living room.

I dated a guy once that had a signed abstract painting by Robert Gilberg on his wall.  I saw something different every time I saw it.  That painting had an attraction that I just can’t quite explain.  He was always buying art and changing out abstract paintings on his walls, but this particular piece always stayed.  I guess he was attracted to it as well.

The abstract painting that I bought for my older brother did not work in his apartment.  I ended up buying a painting that was a little too large for the room it was intended for.  The colors did not work in the only room that worked for its size.

I ended up selling that abstract painting the same place that I had bought it, on eBay!  I ended up making a profit on the abstract painting.  There was more information in my auction about the artist, Richard Diebenkorn, than there had been in the auction that I won.  I think the extra hour of research I spent made the abstract painting’s value increase.

I learned a long time ago that an abstract painting is worth exactly as much as someone is willing to pay for it.  I have friends that just cannot be convinced of this basic truth.  I think that if no one wants a particular abstract painting, then it is worth nothing.

My brother used the money from the sale of the unwanted abstract painting to find himself another abstract painting.  He ended up with an abstract collage that was made in the late 1930s.  I liked it when I saw it and it worked beautifully in his office.
