New Art

We have lived in our house for two years now, but are still just finding the right art pieces to hang on the walls. Our previous house was built in the 1950's and had much shorter ceilings. This house has just the opposite which makes hanging art sort of tricky. Paintings that fit perfectly at the old house look tiny on our walls here. So we've been slowly finding and hanging pieces that we like and that we think fit the space.

For about a year, Mike had been hunting on the internet for a series of skateboards designed by Evan Hecox (one of his favortie artists). It took a lot of patience and a lot of phone calls to skateshops all over the country, but he finally managed to collect them all. We recently hung them up together and they look great!

Two boards came from California, one from Germany, one from England one from Indiana.

In addition, Mike has been painting again recently-- something he has really missed. He's been out in the garage late each night working on a painting for our house and here's the final product. He was really pleased with the end result.

Mike said the guy in the painting is a Russian Cosmonaut. And Mike stil needs to sign it! I really like it here in our entryway.

This weekend we are hosting a party at our home for the entire film crew at Mike's work. We're really looking forward to it, and I'm glad we have some new things hanging on our walls!
