What is art? That’s the million dollar question, isn’t it? Let’s rephrase it and ask “what is art to you?”. I rarely hang anything on my wall unless it has some significance to me. Sometimes my walls are bare for awhile until I find the right piece to live there.
I currently have this picture hanging in my house.
Polish chicken
The significance to me is that I think they are quirky and mesmerizing. Also the thought of having a Polish chicken hanging on the wall makes me giggle. And I lived in Poland for a few years. Plenty of meaning there.
I’m thinking about adding this one. Or maybe I will change them out periodically.
Another Polish chicken
Absolutely stunning in my opinion!
I also have this image hanging on my wall.
Singer
This is a picture I got off the internet. I don’t know who it is. It grabbed me because for some reason I can feel what she is feeling. It’s how I feel on the inside.
I bought this painting at an antique mall.
Belly dancer
I do not happen to feel like this on the inside but I do love the movement and the colors.
Here are some pieces that I do NOT have hanging on my walls but I really wish I did.
“Dancing in the Rain I” by Kathryn Trotter Art
“Solitude” by Loui Jover
“Ovum Rex” by Zachary Brown
Do you love the pictures you have hanging on your walls?
What is art to you?
Art to me? If it makes me want to stop and go back to look again and then again, if it pulls me in or makes me question then to me it is Art 🙂
I love this answer. Spot on.
I love things that make me feel something — I love things that are calming or peaceful or remind me of someplace or someone.
And I have a bare space that’s driving me crazy but I can’t find the right thing for it. 🙂
For me it is the space above my bed. Bare.
Don’t compromise. The perfect piece will come along! I want to know what it is when it does!
I like my art to have significance to me as well. I currently have a painting on my wall that I painted years ago and a picture that I took of an ant and an inch worm and had made into a canvas. It just makes me happy to look at it. 🙂
I like the art you *do* have hanging. And I adore “Solitude.”
“Happy” is a very important response for me too.
I have a couple of pictures that I keep meaning to have made into canvases. Time to get it done!
