Info for the Collector


Alamo
Soft Pastel, 8 x 10 inches, On R-tis-tx board
read more about this one here. It is at Peppers Art Gallery in Magdalena, New Mexico

I hope some of my blog readers are persons looking for art, not all artists. I try to have information for other artists in my WIP (Work in Progress) and demo posts. I think it is important to share whatever information I have learned with fellow artists.

I also think it is important for the art patrons and interested viewers to learn about art as well. They can increase their appreciation for artists and gain a greater understanding of the artwork.

There are many reasons for collecting and buying art. The main one should be that you like the piece! If you like it, it will go with anything and anywhere.

Clint Watson of FineArtStudioOnline writes a newsletter and collects information on buying and collecting art. You can sign up here. He also puts out a newsletter for artists here. He collects information from other sources so it is possible you have read part of his newsletter elsewhere.

If you would like to comment about why you buy art or have questions, let me know.

About Me

My photo

I Grew up in a small town , Magdalena, New Mexico. I enjoy art and the pleasure other people get from my work. I always donate some of my sales and art to charities, especially for children. That started in Bolivia with Para los Niños. "I cannot pretend to feel impartial about colors. I rejoice with the brilliant ones and am genuinely sorry for the poor browns." -- Winston Churchill
