They came in looking for paintings. They left with paintings—and a friend. ❤️
Several weeks ago, Bill and Teresa stopped by Art in the Village looking for two paintings for their home.
They had spaces on either side of their TV they wanted to fill, but after looking through the gallery, they couldn’t find a pair that felt quite right.
That’s when our co-founder and artist Mary Spellings told them, “We can create something especially for you.”
They talked. They looked through Bill and Teresa’s photos. And eventually, the perfect subject emerged: their favorite spot to drink coffee and have conversations together.
Mary turned that meaningful little piece of their life into two 18x24 original watercolors.
When Bill and Teresa came to pick them up, Bill told Mary:
“We came in here looking for paintings, but not only did we get the paintings we love, but we also got a friend.”
And that’s what we love about art.
Sometimes you’re choosing something beautiful for an empty wall. But sometimes, in the process, you find a way to preserve a place, a memory, or a part of your life that matters to you.
And every once in a while, you find a new friend, too.
If you’ve been searching for something very specific for your home, come talk with us. A commission might be the answer you didn’t know you were looking for.
