Come see us! 

We are very pleased to announce that we are having an art show at the beautiful Walter E. Smithe showroom in Arlington Heights on November 2 and 3. There you will be able to see hundreds of great oil paintings by artists from around the world. 

We are known for our on-home art consultation service. Pick some pieces you would like to see in your home and we'll bring them for you to see them before you buy. We can also tailor framing options that suit both the art and your interiors.

The Art Show runs Saturday 10:00AM-6:00PM and Sunday from 11:00AM to 6:00PM. Please stop by…….you will love what you see.

Abstract Sophistication

What an exciting focal point. Yes. You can enjoy an exciting, modern abstract in a more traditional room. Go for it!

This is an original oil painting by Ccala. The artist is known for these hip and swank abstracts that look like they belong on the set of Mad Men. We have been showing Ccala's art with mid-century modern-inspired interiors, but it looks great anywhere. Click on the pictures above to better see the detail of the painting.

Art for an Elegantly Transitional Home

We recently helped a homeowner finish their redecorating with some gorgeous pieces. The oil painting above the fireplace is by Ares. Although the piece is done in oil paint, Ares uses techniques that more closely resemble oriental ink painting. He also uses layers of opalescent pigments to give his paintings a great shimmer and luminosity that repeats the silky lusters of the beautiful upholstery in the chairs. This is a lovely art choice for this room.

This is an engaging sunny street scene by Pena. She is admired for her fine brushwork and charming detail. 

We love how Sokol-Hohne takes the beloved display of botanical prints and makes it more contemporary. The artist starts with a botanical and then embellishes it with layers combinations of collaged mixed media and pigments of varied lusters.

Like Pena above, Bacci is known for the fine brushstrokes and rich detail in his magnificent landscapes.
