Art Investment

I wish more investors would see the light on investing in good art. Why not purchase something you can enjoy and live with while it gains value. Being a successful artist myself I have seen a 10 to 15% increase in value almost ever year for the past 20 years. I have tried to advise my clients over the years as to the value of collecting art. The one great things is that there is virtually an investment for every income level. You don’t have to purchase at the top nor do you want to. The key is to find a good artist that is making a career of being an artist, Not a part-timer. Find an artist that is selling and making art that people like and can understand, representational art is a good place to look… Landscapes, Seascapes, Marine art. Art investment has other advantages, you don’t pay Uncle Sam as the value of the work increase. You also have a direct involvement with how your investment will grow by working with the artist and building them up by investing in new works and sharing your center of friends co- workers and family the investment value of the artist. Don’t be greedy share your artist! Your artist will care for you as a friend and appreciate the support, in return may help you by being the first to see new works and get first pick of new painting. The pick of the litter. You get the best work. The work that will be most valuable and offer you the best return when you decide to sell. As your artist grows so will your investment and remember if you find the right artist the one that I have been talking about above, chances are there will be a day that the values jump over night 50 to 100% and more. The good thing is that as you purchase paintings, even as the artist prices increase year to year you can have the satisfaction of knowing that the value will go up. How many times have you herd of good artwork go down in price?

The power of social media

Today I'm looking at the power of social media, Facebook, youtube, twitter and yes blogs.

The success of many businesses will be in the hands of those who accept or reject this form of networking and gathering up of new customers for their business. I have decided to take a long hard look at this form of media and tap in to it's power.

I am always looking for new ways to stay ahead of the pack. If you would like to follow on twitter I'm at www.twitter.com/nantucketartist

New Nantucket paintings will be coming in a few days. Just putting some finishing touches to them and will post as soon as I can.

A Historic Nantucket Painting of Sankaty Light House

Sankaty Lighthouse before the move ~ Artist Christopher Wheat

The Morning light is fading to afternoon and the September Green is holding on as the summer roses are at the last bloom. Old Sankaty Light house on Nantucket is on the move to a new home. The painting is an 18x24 oil on canvas framed in a gold lief frame. This painting has a historic place now on Nantucket.

My goal in this painting was not only to capture the location of the lighthouse
but the grandeur of the subject and the space and movement around the subject
and the atmosphere, I wanted to make you feel as if you were there and could
walk right up the path.Nantucket Custom Paintings
