Ahh, the warm weather has started to overtake the wintry winds. Soon the trees will regrow their leaves and the flowers will begin to bloom spreading fresh color back into our world.

Spring is the time to refresh our lives; wipe the gloom of winter from our homes. Put away the heavy blankets, closet the big woolly coats, shelve the clunky boots. It’s time to revitalize. Bring color into your home and you bring color into your life.

Now is the time of year to add some vibrant pillows to your sofa. Get some texture on your walls as well as a splash of color. Bright doesn’t necessarily have to mean busy, landscape art is a wonderful way to add color and texture without burdening a room.

The Tapestry Standard has landscape tapestries of all styles and colors to fit with your home decor. Just one tapestry can transform an entire room, and now you can transform two rooms for no extra charge because we’re offering the View From The Park tapestry absolutely free with all orders over $250. The tapestry normally retails for $110 and you get it free as part of our Ring in Spring celebration.

March is a big month for artists. I feel that it is important to celebrate the births of these creative people. Their vision and talent changed how people viewed art and beauty…not to mention making the world a more beautiful place.

Michelangelo was born March 6, 1475. Most people have heard of him or have seen his work. His artistic influence has been carried on for centuries…and for good reason. His use of light and shadow helped him create a depth to paintings that would otherwise look flat and uninspired. His most famous painting was The Creation which is a section of his famous Sistine Chapel mural. Painted on the high domed ceiling of the Chapel, this extensive work of art is certainly considered his Magnus Opus.

Another wonderful artist born in March was Vincent Van Gogh. He was born March 30, 1853. The beauty of his paintings continues to inspire young artists even today. Among his many famous works, Cathedral and Chambre are perhaps the most recognizable. The use of color, shading and perspective make these works truly exceptional and unique.

Be sure to check out our Art Tapestries section for more beautiful fine art wall hangings! It’s finally getting warm enough to say…It’s Spring!
