I also hang the pictures low rather than high, and particularly in the case of the largest ones, often as close to the floor as is feasible, for that is the way they are painted.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
And last, it may be worthwhile trying to hang something beyond the partial wall because some of the pictures do very well in a confined space.
You don't paint pictures to put them in your attic. You want people to look at them.
A good photograph is knowing where to stand.
Ironically, my paintings don't photograph well.
I just make the pictures and where they fall is where they fall. If somebody likes them, that's always nice. And if they don't like them, then too bad.
I think when you look at architectural photography it doesn't help to have piles of old clothes lying on the floor. Architectural photography sets up an artifice.
I look at my paintings for a very long time before letting them out of my studio. I like to get on the treadmill and look around at all of my paintings while I exercise. I try to stare them down to make them reveal their weaknesses. If they reveal weaknesses, they get repainted.
If your pictures aren't good enough, you aren't close enough.
Photographs are two-dimensional. I work in four dimensions.
I didn't hang any pictures in my office for a year because I thought that I would be jinxing myself and have to take them down the next day.
