Park West Art

I have never been to a Park West Art Gallery on land  but I have been to their auctions on the seas and it is wonderful.  The art they display is quality, the prices reasonable and you can actually get them to frame the pieces before they ship them to your home.

We purchased three pieces of art while we were cruising one was the Pink Panther golfing.  This one was for the golf suite in our hotel and when we sold the hotel I brought it home, it was just too cool to leave for someone else to have when they didn't golf or appreciate it like we do.

One is a computer generated piece of a baby grand piano and a rather wild man in a tux playing it.  This fits into our home since we have a baby grand in our living room.  This piece is so different from most of the art that we had seen it really captured our eye.  It now hangs in the living room of our home and gets commented on regularly.

The last piece is an art deco piece from a Jewish artist that has wonderful bold colors and flowing lines.  We still haven't framed this one, it really doesn't go in our current home due to the style but it will when we move to a different house, someday!  We thought about taking it to the office but just can't make myself do that, I want it at home.

The auctions are well managed, the knowledgeable staff are most willing to help you with information on the works and the selection is varied.

Maybe sometime in the future we will have the opportunity to go to a gallery and see what else they have available.  It's wonderful to see such quality art by such a wide array of artists all in one place at reasonable prices.
