Shopping for Pleasure!
Posted by Iain Brunt on 26/02/2010
There is a huge difference between shopping for necessary things and shopping for the enjoyment of shopping. No matter what your income, life is too short not to enjoy leisure shopping . Before the Internet, going to the mall was a get away from home just to get out of the house. And, before the malls, there were wonderful little speciality shops to enjoy the special attention the clerks provided and the wonderful items one does not often see, displayed in ways that one can only dream of these days.
Antiques and Modern Work Well Together
Posted by Iain Brunt on 22/02/2010
Modern art has often been thought of not working with antiques but the inspirational work of Guy Warner proves different. Born in Birmingham, England in 1985, at such a young age Guy Warner is an exciting emerging talent; he uses oils and acrylics to produce vibrant pictures with a fresh yet sophisticated colour palette. His skill with tone and his adept brushwork lend each picture a greatly appealing sense of depth and texture.
