I love them now.

I seems like they're like 1 in 1000. And when I find a good one, they're usually several hundred to a few thousand.<br /><br />I wouldn't have a problem with a bunch of portraits looking at me in a guest room. I'm usually sane enough to know they're not real.An Urban Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08666212353075804092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1908660775553052007.post-29408587806279798172013-10-04T12:13:33.543-04:002013-10-04T12:13:33.543-04:00I agree that not all people might find portraits s...I agree that not all people might find portraits staring at them while they sleep, 'comfortable', but I think smaller sizes and not a whole wall would suffice, also for me, portraits that don't look at me but stare somewhere else, is better. :-)Vel Cristehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07296838254480885046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1908660775553052007.post-35641246301571893822013-10-04T12:13:33.193-04:002013-10-04T12:13:33.193-04:00I agree that not all people might find portraits s...I agree that not all people might find portraits staring at them while they sleep, 'comfortable', but I think smaller sizes and not a whole wall would suffice, also for me, portraits that don't look at me but stare somewhere else, is better. :-)Vel Cristehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07296838254480885046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1908660775553052007.post-42736261831989824512013-10-04T10:52:57.805-04:002013-10-04T10:52:57.805-04:00I have to agree with not using the face-on views, ...I have to agree with not using the face-on views, but I still think you could come up with varied paintings on your own that would be captivating and would keep the budget in line.

I have 2 portraits in my place and of all my art they are the ones that people comment on most! One is a Cary Grant look alike that I found at a vintage shop and the other is actually my grandfather....hope they're not creepy but I think not.ArchitectDesign™https://www.blogger.com/profile/01481754380363676771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1908660775553052007.post-11178320276538918682013-10-04T09:25:43.003-04:002013-10-04T09:25:43.003-04:00I love vintage portraits and think they will be a ...I love vintage portraits and think they will be a great addition.
