Cover Story
I enjoy visiting antique shops and paying attention to how antiques and collectibles are showcased. I am particularly drawn to three-dimensional displays that resemble "still life" paintings. These wonderful vignettes just seem to have an "artsy" quaility that lends itself to our home decor. If you were to imagine these arrangements "framed", they would make a lovely painting. Successful arrangements are interesting. The best displays exploit or emphasize shapes, texture, color pattern, perspective, or some combination of these elements. In the language of the artist, we say "the composition" is good.
