My First Original Art Purchase



So once upon a time i was googling my name and came across an artist, Camilo Lucarini. After looking through his website I noticed two things.
1) This guy is awesome, he met Sean Connery. (These are actually two separate things, but I think they go well together.)
2) I LOVE his paintings, specifically Desnudo en Rojo. Really all of it is gorgeous. I think my favorites are the nudes and the beach scenes. The statues and wildlife are gorgeous, but I am more partial to hanging pictures of people.
In any case, feeling bold one day I decided to e-mail him to see if he would respond...
He did! I started e-mailing with him and his wife, who are very sweet. And the rest is history. I can't wait to be able to frame and hang this so that I can show it off in person.

It is most likely going in the living room (with deep gold/yellow walls), however there are some thoughts as to putting it in the hall/stairwell area and or bedroom.

Hooray for new art and new friends!

p.s. if I haven't shown you the site already...
