Dining in Style

With the holidays here, we’ve got dining room style on our minds! The best year-round addition to your dining area: an original work of fine art. Find a piece that anchors the space and sets the tone you’re looking for.

For inspiration, check out the three pieces I chose for this inviting dining room.

Xan Padron | Via San Felice, Bologne

Xan Padron, Via San Felice, Bologne, Photograph on Paper, 45 × 33 inches

 

In his Time Lapse series, Xan Padron captures urbanites passing by the same location and then links them together to create a photomontage. This unique process invites viewers to take a closer look at his subjects—one is tempted to craft their own story of the many different figures traveling the same path.

Hunt Slonem | Hutch Lunch

Hunt Slonem, Hutch Lunch, Oil on Canvas, 30 × 40 inches

 

As ever, Slonem’s bunnies add a sense of whimsy and playfulness to the space. The simple white background of Hutch Lunch provides a wonderful contrast to the browns and neutrals decorating the room, while the striking gold frame draws your eye into the piece.

John Brandon Sills | Evening Barn

John Brandon Sills, Evening Barn, Oil on Canvas, 48 × 60 inches

 

Did someone say “farm to table?” I love the serenity Sills’s Evening Barn brings to this dining room. The rich hues of the painting add just the right amount of color and intensity to the space.
