It ends up being about the cost of a nice dinner out for one person that way.

It is an extra expense and kind of frivolous, I know, but it lifts my spirits so much and encourages me to see my art hanging on a wall in a sense.

I’m amazed at how many interiors there are, and you can make the walls any color you wish, and they have some simple basic frames you can make any color and size you wish. I do wish they had some ornate frames too.

They seem to be adding dozens of new interiors every month too. I’m pretty astounded by the app. It has editing features in it too which I dint use, and it allows you to make your art any size you wish, which I do use pretty much every time. For example, this painting I just posted is actually only 5 X 7 inches.

If you have a fair amount of disposable income, I would say it would be worth trying it for one month, and if you like it a great deal, pay for a yearly subscription for the cheapest option. It’s easy to cancel these subscriptions in apps if you don’t like it.

For me, whenever I do a painting, I feel immediate discouragement. I look at it and think, oh that’s not good enough. I feel deflated. But when I take a photo of my painting and then put it in a fake interior using this app, I like my painting better and I feel good instead of bad. I say to myself, “Well, that’s not so bad, it looks kind of nice on that wall, maybe it’s okay.” For me, the yearly subscription fee is worth it for the psychological lift it gives me.

Other artists use it to help sell their art on-line. I can see where it might be effective for that.

Now I sound like I work for the company, LOL, I swear I don’t!
