Anstead Painting - Snowboarders and Park City Landmarks in Art

Let's face it …

Snowboarders are gnarly.

THEY TOTALLY ARE!

They are winter sports savvy but they are surfing more than they are skiing.

PLUS - they have an attitude. They are counterculture and that makes them cool by definition, these days.

What is more counterculture than shredding powder trails all around the provincial skiing community!


Why paint snowboarders?

CONSIDER LARGE ART FOR AVERAGE-SIZED WALLS

Installation of a large sized 7'x5' painting onto a small entry wall
As you may know, I love painting on large canvases.

Why large art?

Well, it's simple: #LargeArt makes an impression. It makes a statement. It compliments a space in a big way.

I don't paint large exclusively, but so often it is the solution that buyers are looking for, and large paintings are not as common as smaller ones.

Here is an idea of how to effectively use large art on other walls besides #tall, #VaultedWallArt space.

HOW TO CHOOSE ART THAT'S JUST RIGHT

Sweet, sweet pain.

You have a wall that needs the final touch of a painting to be hung in that perfect location.
It is a problem to be solved, but it usually isn't a problem that is distressing like a sink that's clogged. It is a problem where the solution can be a key part of the fun of the final solution.
It's sweet pain!

There is a weird sort of joy in the search. Looking for that great art solution is part of the fun.

THAT is key: Getting to the solution. 

You kind of know what you like, but don't know where to find it.
You are going to visit where the #art is.
Even though you don't know exactly what you want, you are on a treasure hunt, and you will know it when you see it.

If you are constantly in the mode of looking and looking and not committing, you probably need a little help.

Here is my suggestion to help move the process along:
