Third time’s the charm, as they say — and that certainly holds true for the art over my couch! If you’ve been following along for a while, you know I’ve been switching out the art in this space over the past couple of years.
I started out with a beautiful watercolor with Sailboats; I did really like this piece, but because it was framed, at certain angles, it was all glare. In addition, the quality was very cheap — the mat and the paper had started to warp, and while no one else probably would notice, it was bothering me. Then, last winter, I tracked down a navy and white loops canvas print from TJ Maxx. I loved it in theory, but in reality, it just felt so dark and heavy. I didn’t love it in the space, and eventually took it down in favor of a blank wall.
While hunting over the last year for the perfect piece to hang above my couch, I discovered Jordan Connelly and her beautiful artwork. After browsing her website, I knew right away that one of her paintings of the Lowcountry would be an amazing fit for this space. For one, the colors she frequently uses — soft blues, greens, and pinks — fit the aesthetic of my home so well. And for another, I love the Carolinas and spending time by the water, so the themes of many of her work celebrate one of my favorite places to be.
As soon as I discovered the print of her work entitled Sea Pool On Sullivan’s 2, I knew I had found the perfect piece of art for this space above my couch.
