About a year ago, my wife and I ventured to National Harbor in Oxon Hill, Maryland. After checking out the restaurants and shops, we stumbled upon Art Whino, a DC-based art gallery. From the outside it didn't look like much, but upon entering we were visually treated to some really nice pieces. As we were leaving my eye caught the gem above entitled NEStalgia. It's a compilation of various Nintendo video game characters as uniquely interpreted by the artist. Not only were some of my favorite video game personalities plastered up on a canvas, but I appreciated the non-typical look of each of them. See Mario, Donkey Kong, etc.
I'm somewhat indecisive with certain things. If you know me you can probably attest to that. We were staying for the weekend, so I had a couple of days to ponder whether to purchase this artwork or not. The fact that I could wait to decide didn't help. Actually, it probably made it worse. Investing in art can be expensive, and I was perplexed. The day we were slated to head home (and with a little convincing from my wife) I decided it would be worth it and bought the painting.
Almost a year later, and I've finally gotten around to hanging it up. Maybe it was laziness or just plain forgetting about it, but now that it's on display I'm really pleased with how it looks.
This was definitely a good purchase. You will have and enjoy this your entire life!
