Rise and Shine (Italian Alps)

In the outside world around this time of the year, stores are crowded; lines are horrendously long (especially at my post office); there seem to be more drivers on freeways screaming “get out of my way!”  You come home and find you still have cards to write, gifts to wrap, meals to plan for family gatherings, etc…  Feeling holiday stress?  Here’s my idea to feel a little calmer.

How long have you had those paintings in the same spots in your house and felt you’re kind of getting tired of looking at them?  You acquired a new piece recently but haven’t had time yet to give it a proper place on your walls?  Whether it’s your new work or somebody else’s you admire, hanging a new piece of art is just like a breath of fresh air.  Your holiday guests may appreciate it, too.

Speaking of hanging new art, that’s something U.S. President-elect Barack Obama may be doing, too.

While he has been busy selecting people for government positions in his new administration, he has to make decisions on art for the White House before he takes office next month.  Which paintings or sculptures will he choose to decorate the walls and halls?  I’ve found a video from Forbes.com  I’d like to share if you’re interested in previewing a few pieces including a $250,000 Abraham Lincoln drawing.  Will this be added to the White House Art Collection?  Enjoy your holiday season!
