House Call: pinolb's Art Collection
Spain

Name: pinolb
Location: Cubelles, Spain

We moved from the U.S. to Spain last spring and due to high shipping costs and limited space in our new place I had to do some major downsizing. The one thing I couldn't downsize was my art collection. I decided to bring every piece and I've added a few more since arriving in Spain...

I've found some fantastic 2nd hand stores in the surrounding small towns and it´s been a blast putting it all together. There is an amazing selection of textiles and leathers here. I've had a few pieces reupholstered and I've purchased quite a few new bedspreads and cushion covers.

Thanks, pinolb!

Beautiful and nicely styled. I like the use of the salmon color.

Thanks for the positive feedback!

Dizzyneko,
The cushions on the floor are large dog beds. I bought them five years ago in the U.S.

Here´s a link to a similar cushion cover http://www.dogbedstreet.com/good-dog-bed-cover.html

All to often, the artwork seen on AT walls, just seems to be selected "because it matches the decor". People hang decorated rectangles on their walls, because it seems to be demanded by convention. Like a fireplace in a 21 century home.
Your artwork merits much so more than a glance. It was chosen with much insight, and one can see that you are passionate about the paintings.
