My art collection

Last year, when visiting Ohio, I stopped at Vancura Gallery of Fine Art located in Middlefield. There I fell in love with paintings by James Christensen. I purchased “Hold to the Rod, The Iron Rod.” This was the start of my fascination with art and the beginning of my collection of limited edition art giclees (prints).

After many nights scouring the web for other art that I would find interesting, mainly trying to determine what my style is, I came across works by the artist Kim Wiggins. I purchased “Song of the Valle Vidale” at a local fine art gallery outside of San Antonio and “Sonoma Vinyards” from a seller on ebay.

It turns out that talent runs in the family. I discovered paintings by James Christensen’s daughters, Emily McPhie and Cassandra Christensen Barney. I’ve purchased “One if by Land” by Emily McPhie and am anxiously awaiting “Two if by Sea” and “Three if by Air” to be made available. I currently don’t have anything by Cassandra Christensen Barney.

Cynthia thinks this one is a little “spooky.” From what I understand, many of Emily’s paintings are inspired by her daughter’s dreams.

During my most recent visit to Ohio, I stopped at Vancura Gallery of Fine Art, where it all began. I picked up an additional limited edition print by James Christensen, “The Listener.” Some people have told me it’s a little too loud and a little too “busy.” I can’t disagree with them more. The vivid colors, extreme detail, and wild variety of characters makes this one of my prize possessions.

As you can see, my collection is rather small right now. As it grows, I will continue to share it with you.
