The portrait is one of the most striking forms of art. The ability to successfully represent such a complex subject has always astounded me. The portrait predominantly emphasizes a subject’s face and their expressions but is not limited to simply that. The portrait allows the artist to depict visually, what a person is experiencing in any given situation or moment in time.

Imagekind is happy to announce an exciting collaboration with Debra Gould, the Staging Diva, creator of the Staging Diva Home Staging Training Program. With this strategic cooperation, Home Stagers are now able to find art quickly and easily when decorating their clients’ homes for sale. Prior to offering artwork from Imagekind, Home Stagers had few options when trying to outfit a home with specific and appropriate artwork. However, as Debra explains,
Finding appropriate art that will enhance the home without taking over and getting it in the size and framing needed has been challenging until now. I created the Staging Diva Home Staging Art Shop to make this easier and I’ve created specific art galleries for every key room in the house. So you don’t have to wonder if a particular work of art is more appropriate for a master bedroom or dining room for example.
Offering artwork from the Imagekind community for the Staging Diva network creates a valuable resource for professional fulfillment on-demand, and is another addition to our continued pursuit of building the best community for buying, selling and creating art.

Stumbling through the Internet the other day, I came across this pretty funny site, mrpicassohead.com where you can create your own abstract caricatures just like the modern master himself. It is pretty fun, and a good way to waste a few minutes of time. Try it out! Create something funny. Heck, maybe it will help inspire you for your next painting or other amazing work of art. Sometimes it’s just those goofy things (like the dog who had a run-in with a blow-dryer) that really set us apart and help us through the day.
The is pretty clever and interesting post over on the COLOURlovers blog about the inspiration of color on the major historical artists, as well as how their choices still inspire us today. Check out the neat interactive article they put together, using their websites main feature - creating palettes - to showcase just how useful it can be when considering design.
Sounds like a great way to consider what your hanging on your walls when matching decor. If you have a room that fits the palettes those Colour Lovers have put together, well you know right where to grab the art to match!
Take a look at the prints for some the other artists they showcase, including:
The Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci
Three Musicians by Pablo Picasso
Persistence of Memory by Salvador DalÃ
The Birth of Venus by Sandro Botticelli
Marilyn Monroe by Andy Warhol
The Scream by Edvard Munch
