Did A Little Art Swap In The "Family" Room Recently. Found That I Need A Spotlight! Status: Perfect!

I finally gave in and removed the fabric backing / frame from this Witco art piece.  The backing was just too icky to use.  I've still got it so I can fix it up and put it all back together if later I decide too, but I'm digging the look without!

This above is what was in the Family Room.  It's a great piece but it doesn't really POP like

the Witco piece.  It wasn't hard to decide to bring it down and replace it.  Now that this is

down I can take the time to take the frame apart and square it up properly.  I got this at a

thrift store and the frame was cockeyed when I got it.  I'm not stickler for perfection when

buying at the thrift store so it never really bothered me and it went up right away.  I almost

sold it once until the Girlfriend asked me not to.  But now I can fix it up nice and find a new

place to hang it.

It looks great in open sunlight like this but in the evening it needs a light shining on it. It's almost

invisible against the brick at night. Now I know what those cone shape aluminum sconce lamps

are for! I need to install one on the ceiling out from the fireplace that I can shine on this area.

I was considering shooting the pics during the evening with a roaring fire but I didn't think

you'd even be able to see it! It would have looked fantastically tribal though. Maybe try that

tomorrow since I've been wanting to get a nice fire going in the fireplace anyway.  Maybe

I'll be surprised and get good pics right away...or I can play with the setting on the camera.

These will have to do for now. This is another example of having more than enough (ok...

hoarding...to a degree) and it's bright side! Too much art? Never!
