Art marketing gurus tell artists that we need to have photos of our artwork hanging in customers’ homes.

Customers or clients? The marketing gurus say “collectors”. I think “client” sounds pretentious, “collector” sounds presumptuous, and “customer” sounds like good plain English.

However, around here, the word that usually fits is “friends”.

I think this looks stunning on a red wall!

I think these look stunning here! And this friend has more of my paintings than anyone else, but I still don’t think of her as a “collector”. She’s a friend!

And isn’t this a creative way to emphasize a little painting?

BUT WAIT! THERE’S MORE!

Nope, not going to make a TLDR* blog, so come back tomorrow.
