Okay, I’m not going to list the artists because you’ve never heard of them—all local or friends.
- A “derelicts in the harbour” painting of junks
- A matched pair, one beach the other wharf
- A very large, immpressive tall-ship
- A sumi-e eagle
- A pen-and-ink “library owl”
- Poppies I and II (below)
- “Moon Walks with Me” (below)
- A couple small cafe-style paintings in the kitchen: a pear and a street scene
- The photo mentioned below still needs to be framed. \sigh\
- My one print currently displayed: a print of “Flaming June” from the Ponce Museum—current holder of that work
- Three Escher prints I’m going to hang in the library, simply because they’re Escher and I’ll never have an original Escher, so I may as well have quality prints. \grin\
I know, I know . . . I said no prints. Well, phooey. Some prints, I’ve found, are worth it.

The other in the “Poppies” set.

These are the other two. I’m not sure I have a place for these, but they were so great I had to get them. When I finally stretch them, I may use them as a gift.

I bought three unstretched paintings. This is one of them—I have to stretch and hang it eventually.

I want a home filled with original art – supporting living artists, connecting with that creative moment each time I see it on my wall.

I really don’t know what I want. I’m hoping I’ll know it when I find the right piece.

Living in Laguna Beach part time and a half hour out of Park City allows me access to SO much amazing art. PLUS, my Mom’s an artist! Google Her. Her Name is “Mary Aslin” Her main medium is pastel, but she does oils and watercolors also.
She’s really good.

I bought a couple of pieces from a really talented photographer for a good chunk of change… found out later that I had supported his crack habit. Also wasn’t really worth it because I can’t afford to get them matted and framed so they are stored away for some time down the road… Oh well…

...adds charm and flavor to one’s decor as original art does. I adore craft shows and art boutiques and such. Adding a piece here or there is always fun and doesn’t have to be super expensive. For example many colleges offer art shows and whatnot and many of the artists sell their pieces there for less than what a well known artist would. But keep your eye open for that special piece and when you see it, buy it with no questions asked! It’s one of those impulse purchases you won’t regret if you act on your gut love of it. :)

Well I bought a painting on my trip. I really liked it even though the colour doesn’t quite go with anything I own. Figured it might be time for some redecorating. It isn’t magnificent ( I got it in a market not a gallery) but I really like it
