{portraits...}

i've been noticing the use of portraits in living rooms, bedrooms, studies, and gallery walls. the paintings add an instant dash of nostalgia and a wonderful, collected feel to a home. could be a wise investment or, at the very least, a conversation starter. e.g., "who's that person hanging on your wall?"..."oh that's aunt milly. she has a three legged dog." or, "that's cousin pete...he has issues" [pretend to drink from imaginary whiskey bottle].

(sorry, in a silly mood...)
