[artsScene @artsSceneHFX]

Thank you so much to our wonderful a speakers @jonathanlegate and @AbbottBrownNS and our host @Studio21FineArt! Wonderful evening

[artsScene @artsSceneHFX]

@jonathanlegate: if you see a piece that moves you, you should buy it. Don't think about the parameters

[artsScene @artsSceneHFX]

Deborah: if you buy art, it's a reflection of who you are.

[artsScene @artsSceneHFX]

Deborah: I always see someone coming in, trying to resist buying a piece they love because it doesn't fit in the space they are thinking

[artsScene @artsSceneHFX]

@jonathanlegate: I always say buy the pieces you love because they will somehow all work together

[artsScene @artsSceneHFX]

Question: do you love the piece you love? Or do you buy the piece you love for a spot?

[artsScene @artsSceneHFX]

@AbbottBrownNS: in today's spaces, everything is mechanistically created, so man-made items are missing. Any piece of art adds that element

[artsScene @artsSceneHFX]

Deborah: a person is behind every piece of art here, that you are connected with if you buy a piece of art.

[artsScene @artsSceneHFX]

@jonathanlegate: of course, opposites attract, like leather and lace. You can put anything in acrylic boxes because it makes it important

[artsScene @artsSceneHFX]

@TheRoseZack: do you like to mix high and low art (low art like baseball cards)

[artsScene @artsSceneHFX]

@jonathanlegate: moving things around allows you to explore and appreciate the art more.

[artsScene @artsSceneHFX]

@jonathanlegate; I am always looking for a spot! But it's true, even moving things to a new spot with different natural light changes it

[artsScene @artsSceneHFX]

Deborah: that's a frequent situation here, about filling a spot.

[artsScene @artsSceneHFX]

@AbbottBrownNS: if you have more of a modern environment, the architect thinking about the space, even the windows are part of composition

[artsScene @artsSceneHFX]

@AbbottBrownNS: there are two levels- if money is no object, you buy it because you like it. And there's the need to fill a spot
