Enough of a good thing!

You can never have enough Scott Ward Art!


This photo is not of a gallery or a boutique. It's not even my studio. This is the bedroom in the home of a client and friend.
For the past several years, Craig Martin has been collecting my art. At this point, I believe he has sixteen pieces. Some are original oil paintings and others are prints on canvas. He has been very supportive and encouraging as you can see.
I have several clients owning collections of my art. In most cases (of what I know), they hang throughout the house - in different rooms, on different walls. I had to capture a photo of Craig's wall because it cracked me up. "It makes me so happy to wake up to this" Craig told me. This in return makes me very happy. "I also love falling asleep to it" he expressed.
Now, I'm not necessarily promoting that everyone collect my artwork (though that's not such a terrible idea). What I do want to promote is the practice of surrounding yourself with things that make you happy. Having an entire wall or roomful of happy-inducing pieces can make you, well, happy.

What is it that brings joy to you? What inspires you to be good, happy, uplifted? Are you surrounded with enough of it?

If you need any suggestions, I can help you out with it!

Be good,
Scott
