My abstract painting, Separate From the Rest, looks great hung horizontally in my bedroom.

Yes…you can turn your contemporary abstract paintings in a different direction and have a new look to your room.

 

 

Just because the artist created the painting as a horizontal doesn’t mean that you can’t like it better as a vertical for your space.

 

 

This won’t work for all abstract paintings but I have found that it works for many of mine

 

 

Some examples of before and after will stimulate your curiosity to see if some of your contemporary abstracts will work the same for you. And if you have discovered that you actually like it better.

 


Before: This is Up, Down and All Around hung the way I created it, horizontally. (acrylic/mixed media on canvas)

 

 

 

After: And here is Up, Down and All Around hung vertically. WOW…fantastic.

 

Now you have a painting that is 36”L X 24”W! 
And all you had to do was change the position of the wire on the back.

 

 

Let’s take another one.  This acrylic/mixed media on canvas painting, Separate From the Rest, was created horizontally.

Before: Separate From the Rest horizontally measures 24” L X 36” W like the previous one above.

 




After: Notice how the orange, curved line leads your eye to the hanging lamp…cool.

 

Another WOW…because this looks great, right?

 

And I forgot to mention that you can try Separate From the Rest both ways vertically…

 

 

 

Which way do you like it hung best? I like them all so I am going to give each one a try for awhile.

 

 

Come on, give it a try. Email me your results because I would love to know how it worked for you.

 

 

Look for the next post because I am going to be hanging Art that was created vertically, horizontally. It works both ways and I will show you.
