Meet the Artists: Don't Buy With Your Head

Bill Double is an artist at The Artists Hand, and a person very involved in the life of the arts in Indiana County. He and his wife Linda have a wonderful art collection, so I asked Bill to tell us why they buy art. The following is his response.

Don’t buy with your Head – Buy with your Heart

Bill Double; Wayne & Washington, $225

Art like theater, dance, great movies, a good book, and great music should tell us a story, touch and inspire us. I make Art and buy Art. The artist’s goal is share something special with the viewer. Great Art tells stories that touch your heart. I buy art to share a piece of what the artist saying. That way I get to share these special stories everyday. I give Art to share with someone that which touches me. I make Art to share beautiful places, things and stories that I am touched by.

Bill Double; Landscape?, $50

Marion Grelle; Afternoon Gathering, $30

Here at The Artists Hand Gallery, we have a wonderful diversity of paintings and photographs to touch any heart. There is representational work, figurative work, and abstracts. Prices range from $35 to $1000, well within many budgets. Stop in to the gallery sometime during these grim winter months and find a piece that speaks to you, take it home and let it lift you out of the depths of winter.
