In the first example we've not only given clients something they can visually enjoy, while they wait; but also added a relaxing and warm feeling to the room.  This can make waiting less aggravating and keep the client calm and in a pleasant mood.  Also, by mixing in just a touch of classical with the frames of the works by Magic Alice (Summer Sea, $925.00, on left & Gold and Platinum Fish, $1,400, on right); you get just the right amount of contrast to this ultra-modern, waiting room, setting.  You'll see a small figurine called, Dancing Queen($295.00), in one of the shelves, by Susan.  This adds a little luxury to the room, and is very tasteful.  We've added the sculpture to the room in both instances. 
Next, we have the wall adorned with a large, original painting, by world renowned artist, Earl Linderman, titled, Dance the Night  Away($3,900.00).  This painting is more engaging to the viewer, with the color schemes and the little details that can be found within.  Could even strike up conversation between multiple people in the room.  It again will keep clients in a pleasant mood with it leisurely subject matter and wild colors.
