Welcome to Art Collecting for Everyone!

June 4, 2008

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to the Fine Art at Home RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

FineArtatHome.com is a journal of my lifetime interest and acquisition of art. You won’t find the quaint musings of a wealthy erudite here, but you will find honest and enthusiastic opinions about everything from collecting original oil paintings, watercolors, etchings, prints and drawings to books and movies depicting artists and their patrons, all the while promoting the notion that art collecting is for everyone. Fine Art has been so much a part of my life that I would love to have it become a part of the lives of others who have yet to consider the fascinating and gratifying world of art collecting.

The fine art that will be discussed here is the kind you and I find in neighborhood galleries, art shows, schools and antique stores. It is art I’ve found intriguing enough to purchase and is what I have chosen to look at and live with. There are many online resources and auctions where first rate art can still be purchased at reasonable prices, if you know how and what to look for and when. Art collecting is not a science, but it can be an enriching adventure of discovery if you allow yourself to be swept away into another world by the talent and skill of an artist.

It is my hope to strike a chord with your art collecting interests that will spark an exchange of information in a way that we may both profit, knowledge wise and acquisition wise. Please feel free to ask questions or comment on anything you find here.
