More via Hallmark... Dr. Harper Higgins is determined to land a tenured position at Boston College and is counting on curating a major university art exhibit to do so. But when her showcase artist cancels, a desperate Higgins turns to her new dog walker, Tom Stone, who, unbeknownst to anyone is an astonishingly talented painter. Transforming Tom into a credible, respected artist becomes an even greater challenge as Higgins’ initial white lie snowballs into an outlandish story that has the entire campus buzzing about the show.

I enjoy both of these lead actors. It sounds like a good movie, too.
ReplyDeleteYet another animal connection - what's with Hallmark at the minute?
ReplyDeleteGreat to see Steve Lund back - I really enjoyed him in The Best Christmas Party Ever but not so much in Christmas Incorporated.
Taylor Cole was really good in Christmas In Homestead a movie which I enjoyed far more than I thought I was going to so I'm looking forward to this one.
Would love to see Taylor Cole & Andrew Walker together again. They were so good in Appetite For Love last year. Love both actors!
ReplyDeleteOh I like both these actors a lot, looking forward to it!
ReplyDeleteI'm so excited to see Steve Lund back in another HM movie! I loved him in his previous movies.
ReplyDeleteSo far, the pics and promos for this one aren't grabbing me, but we'll see.
ReplyDeleteDidn't like the lie they got into. Not the typical Hallmark plot. Would love to know where it was filmed.
ReplyDeleteI agree.
DeleteThis movie is just ok. Nothing spectacular about it. The plot is kind of flat.
ReplyDeleteWhere can you find the artwork shown in the movies
ReplyDeleteI liked the movie, especially Steve Lund, and was happy not only that they decided to come clean but also that there were consequences to their (or really her) actions. I would love to know who the actual artists were for some of the artwork featured. I can't seem to find any information on that online.
ReplyDeletesame here, am wondering the same. googled EVERYWHERE to no avail.
DeleteMe too. I love Vincent Van Gogh's art but the paintings features in this movie were wonderful too. I would love to see who painted them. There is no information regarding who was the painter of some of these wonderful flower paintings.
DeleteIt is Lori Goldberg . A few pieces are still available l
DeleteLori, That is wonderful to hear that you still have some art pieces from the movie, The Art of Us.
DeleteIf anyone is interested, they should contact Lori through her web-site:

Thank you for sharing with us!
Really liked this one - as much as any Hallmark movie this year.
ReplyDeleteNothing groundbreaking but a la the Wagner/Brown match-up they struck it rich with Taylor Cole and Steve Lund. The pair meshed so well and seeing them together on screen gave me a lovely warm feeling.
Pretty realistic ending in that they had to pay for their actions and if Hallmark is going down the route of sequels then this is one movie which I do think would be a good candidate - along the lines of both of them refeeling their way in the art world causing some friction in their relationship.
Definitely a re-watch!
What breed of dog does she have?
ReplyDeleteHallmark wedding movies in June weren't very good uninteresting.
ReplyDeleteI loved the movie and REALLY love the painting that she "did" in the movie. Does anyone know where or how I can buy a print of that exact painting?!!!
ReplyDeleteI too loved her painting! Where can I get a copy?
ReplyDeleteI thought it was an Afremov painting, but it's by Lori Goldberg

So I watched the movie which started at 1:00 am and fell asleep shortly before the end when they were confronted at Tom's exhibit about the Van Gough fib. How did it end???
ReplyDeleteWho painted the pieces attributed to Tom in the movie? I love the florals, apples, all of them really...
ReplyDeleteRe-watched this fantastic flick tonight. :)) -Maria
ReplyDeleteHi, Are you able to tell us if there is any gay content in this movie? We are interested in being confronted with that. Thank you
DeleteI don't recall there being any same-sex characters in this movie.
