I bought them for their individual characteristics which I liked at the time and which seem to have become stronger as they suit the house we now live in so well.
The first is by Wayne Sinclair and is a small oil painting named 'Morning Glow - Matangi'.
It's aptly named as it positively glows even in low light conditions. He's captured the morning sunlight lighting up the forest really well. We keep this in the lounge on a small pedestal on the hearth. It really adds something to the room.
*****************
The second is a much larger painting by Robyn Barclay named 'Tuscan Sunflowers'.
This is stunning and we keep it in the kitchen where it catches the sun during the morning through to late afternoon and generates a warm and happy feeling. I love it when artists can create and enhance moods.
********************
The family connection is that Sinclair and Barclay are husband and wife - a relationship that I was unaware of when I separately purchased the paintings .
It doesn't get much better than this post.
