Digital BW, The Print

I agree.  

I would much rather have my art hanging over a sofa than in an office building cubicle or restroom at an office.  The one over the sofa is "lived with" and obviously enjoyed by the buyer.  

Recently I went to a Hospital here and enjoyed seeing some donated art from local artists hanging in the hallways...to brighten up the otherwise drab grey/putty walls of the halls....then I had a chuckle when I saw a "famous" local artist's big painting hanging in a basement mens room over the urinals....got me chuckling and helped me determine not to donate my art to that hospital.  

Grin  (honest and true tale here).

  Hi Jim, I have a different perspective. I would be honored to have work hanging in someone's home over their sofa. That 
  means they chose to make it a part of their daily life, a big compliment. If it fails to hold interest after years daily scrutiny, 
  I'm not gonna beat myself up. We don't admire even the greatest art for more than a few minutes in a museum, and I don't 
  have near the aspirations those folks did.
