Over the weekend, Darren and I were out running errands when we stopped at Scarsdale Gallery to frame a picture we had gotten on our honeymoon.  While at the gallery, we had a look around and some very interesting pieces caught our eye.  This relatively low key gallery/framing shop on Central Avenue has many wonderful gems hanging on their walls and in their collection.  We were particularly drawn to the collection of art by Jane Wooster Scott.  We knew very little about her and her work prior to walking into the gallery but ever since our visit, we’ve done some research and really like her collection.

Jane Wooster Scott is a world famous artist who’s collection includes original oil paintings as well as many limited edition hand signed/numbered lithographs, serigraphs and remarques.   Her work generally centers around the American Family celebrating family traditions, holidays and customs during the turn of the century and the early 20th century.  We were particularly drawn to a piece called “Special Delivery” which we thought would be perfect over our bar area and the gallery owner was kind enough to let us take it home to see if we liked it.   Our style is generally more contemporary/modern but this piece works perfectly over the bar which is more ‘old school’ and traditional.  We have it up on the wall and will most likely decide to keep it as it really brings the bar area and the den together.  This was a very unexpected and pleasant find!   With every passing day, our house becomes more and more of a home and we absolutely love it!
