Have you ever felt whimsical walking through a colorful autumn forest?  How about silly and spontaneous in the bright yellow sunshine?  Odds are, you probably have.<\/p>\n<p>Colors effect our emotions.  In fact, it\u2019s been documented that colors can affect our pituitary glands, which in turn can change hormone production and mood alteration.  And it\u2019s not just in natural settings this phenomenon occurs.  Often we even find emotional connection to artificial color, like in a painting.<\/p>\n<p>For homeowners and art lovers, adding or changing wall art in a room or office can create new emotional experiences for guests and owners alike.  The key is finding great art on a budget that can achieve this while still adhering to the \u201clook for less\u201d philosophy.<\/p>\n<p>When choosing art, be careful.  There\u2019s some bad wall art out there.  You don\u2019t want to end up with an orange \u201cwaiting room\u201d painting that makes your guests feel like they\u2019re at the doctor\u2019s office.  Your safest bet might be to simply stick with the classics \u2013 they\u2019re always in style, and they\u2019re always tastefully elegant.<\/p>\n<p>But classic gallery art costs a bundle, so reproduction wall art may be your best bet.  Adding a reproduction of a dark classic like Van Gogh\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.overstockart.com\/starrynight.html\">Starry Night<\/a> can bring a sense of heaviness and cool to a room, while a colorful Monet might create a sense of lightheartedness.<\/p>\n<p>Reproductions like this are not hard to find.  Companies like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.overstockart.com\/\">OverstockArt.com<\/a>, the web\u2019s leading producer of reproduction oil paintings and frames, offer hundreds of different paintings for different occasions.  Finding the right colors and the right painting is just a mouse click away.<\/p>\n<p>Consider your home and the mood you want to set not only for yourself, but for your family and your guests.  Then think colors.  A vibrant new painting might be all it takes to turn a dreary day outside into a happy day inside.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Have you ever been sad on a gray cloudy day?
