Art

Fio has paintings, prints, and sketehes in almost every room in the house.  Walk into the front room, and you are hit with two of Austin Son's pieces, an inherited maritime, a pair of Chinese prints, and five of Fio's family portraits. Move into the dining room and you get Son's premier digital painting, an inherited floral, and two more family portraits (only one by Fio).  The den sports a black-and-white, a fantasy,and an O'Keefe-type charcoal, all by Son, plus a charming pencil sketch by Sister-in-Law.  The kitchen has four works by Son above the cabinets. The guest room has four framed molas and one of Son's pics. Three of Fio's paintings hang on the bathroom wall

Moving up, the stairwell displays eight portraits (one being of Wendy Dog), four landscapes, one nude, one abstract, and four Chinese prints.  Going down the hall, you are surrounded by Husband's photo display, four guinea pig oils, three of Fio's childhood paintings, and a door poster.  Husband's office features four of Fiorella's oils, and another of Son's larger works, and Fio has a pencil sketch of Son in her study.  The available walls and cupboard doors in the workroom/laundry are covered with art.  One upstairs bathroom displays three nudes. and the other one has two landscape paintings affixed to a cupboard door and one sitting on the counter.

On to the master bedroom. Where is the art?  Out of all the eighty-plus works of art on the premises, the most powerful are . . . the patterns of bare tree branches through the window glass.
