Have you ever considered collecting art as a hobby? Perhaps you already have a few pieces hanging on your walls that share a common thread or theme. If you own real art, created by living artists, rather than mass-produced pieces from a department store, you can start thinking of it as a budding art collection.
There are countless themes to choose from when it comes to art collecting. For instance, if you have a few floral or animal prints, you can start collecting similar pieces and build a collection of botanical or nature artworks. Or, you may be drawn to cityscapes and skyscrapers, which can lead to a collection of architectural art.
Even seemingly mundane subjects, like vintage neon bar signs or farm animals, can be the focus of an interesting art collection. Rooster 25, for example, is a 12″ x 12″ oil on canvas painting that captures a fierce-looking bird with ruffled feathers, and is priced at $100 in the artist’s gallery.
The beauty of collecting art is that it’s a personal endeavor that reflects your interests and personality. Instead of simply using art to decorate your home or office, collecting art becomes a lifetime enriching hobby that can bring you years of pleasure and value.
