Bits of Rochester

 Add wildlife photographer to my resume.  Found this large frog on the banks of Irondequoit Creek behind the Tops Grocery Store in Penfield.  

Megan and I decided to explore Seneca Park in the city of Rochester.  Quite a few water falls.


 Looking north on the Genesee River from the pedestrian bridge.  

Looking south on the Genesee River from the pedestrian bridge toward the Veterans Memorial Bridge.

Short and sweet today.  I'll need you to rest your eyes because I'll be in Belgium.  So, I'll have 1,000+ photos to share if history is any indication.  If you want to follow my travels while I'm there, follow me at:

What are the benefits of buying original art?  There are countless benefits to owning original artwork.  Generally, most reasons fall into one of the categories of Style, Originality, Texture/Depth, History, Emotional, Investment and Fun.

Texture/Depth - Artwork are physical objects that fill space.  A sculpture has volume on a table.  A painting on a canvas and framed extends from the wall.  Even the paint has thickness depending on the use of impasto.  A poster is only as thick as the piece of paper it's printed on.

Please visit: http://mikekraus.blogspot.com/p/art-investing.html for some advice to consider in purchasing original artwork.

 This painting would look best in an average sized space.  It would work best with the colors red, green, yellow, orange, blue, dark purple, black, white, gray, beige, or wood.

What are the benefits of buying original art?  There are countless benefits to owning original artwork.  Generally, most reasons fall into one of the categories of Style, Originality, Texture/Depth, History, Emotional, Investment and Fun.

Originality -  How many times have you walked up to a car in the grocery lot parking lot only to discover that someone else has the same exact car as you?  Do you remember a time visiting a friend's house and seeing the same big box store artwork and furniture that you have in your home?  A one-of-a-kind artwork will make your space uniquely you.  Even better, commission an artist to make a piece specifically for you that will compliment your decor.  An original piece of art greatly increases the status and charm of a living space.
