"Hanging a Cochran
painting immediately changes the feeling of a room,
providing a focal point and creating an inviting atmosphere
which draws you in." |
"Cochran's paintings
create an eavesdropping experience, encouraging the
viewers' voyeuristic tendencies in a socially acceptable
manner." |
"Many homes today
have Billiard Rooms, and if you don't like Bull Dogs
shooting pool, your options in art descend appreciably." |
