Brightscapes: The Way To Beauty
June is a great time of year to redecorate your home with art and paintings. It's an easy way to create flow, conversations, and spruce up your home. A sterile room can be transformed into a stylish space with your character and panache. Here are a couple tips to enhance your home.
1) Decide on a style, pattern, type, or motif of art you'd like for a room. For example, you have a family room that needs updating. You believe this should be an inviting place for you and your children to gather. Since your family ancestors are from England, Germany, and France, you decided that you will place landscape paintings from those locations on your walls. This way, the theme of family roots connect to the function of the room itself. Your motif could stretch though the whole home, if you desire.
2) Consider the colors of the artwork before hanging a piece. The art should compliment or contrast purposefully with the existing features, color patterns, and style of the room. For instance, you have a room that is beige with a lot of accent pieces from your apartment in New York City. A painting of your favorite part of your former NYC neighborhood would complement the rest of the room. Maybe your space is very organic with traditional moulding and country features. You could amplify that style with contrasting artwork that is of urban scenes that are geometric with bold colors.

Michael Kraus was born on the industrial shoreline of Muskegon, Michigan. After earning his Fine Arts Degree from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago, he attended Grand Valley State University for his graduate degree. From there, he gained varied experiences from the Chicago Architecture Foundation, Art Institute of Chicago, Hauenstein Center For Presidential Studies, Lollypop Farm Humane Society, and the Children's Memorial Foundation. And every place he worked, he had his sketchbook with him and found ways to be actively creative. In 2014, Kraus became a full-time artist by establishing Mike Kraus Art. Since then, he has sold hundreds of paintings that are displayed in nearly every state and dozens of countries. Currently, Kraus lives in Rochester, New York with his beautiful wife and goofy dog.
