Seascapes

Sometimes when you collect something of little or no value, but then group variations on that object in a room they take on more specialness.
Case in point: I have collected several seascapes over time that i've placed in my bedroom and master bath. Alone they're all fairly nice, just art naive, but taken together they form a bigger decorating statement. The walls are surrounded by five foot tall white wainscoting, a very very soft tan paint sits above the woodwork. All the furniture in the room is either white or black, no other color exists but the pop of blues and teals from the seascapes. They range in size from 2 to 3 feet across to small postcards.
I don't think of it as a 'theme' room per se, not too beach-beachy; I'm just paying a small homage to the fact that it's a cottage in Sag Harbor near the ocean.

A large one on the wall next to my bed, I bought it upstate and painted the frame myself

A small one on the picture rail 
This one sits on a shelf in the master bath, a gift from my friend Tony
