collect art

I went to a mercantile shop and picked up two pieces. One is a painting of a purple and blue butterfly on wood. The other is a small ceramic mixed media plaque with flowers, sparrows, and an inspirational saying. 1 week ago

I am already surrounded by and immersed in books, music, films, and good television shows to inspire me as a writer, singer, and aspiring actress. I’ve also been trying to reconnect with my artistic side, and I was startled to realize that I’ve done very little to treat and motivate my inner visual artist!

Happily, some changes have been made. I already owned a Frida Kahlo print, a poster of my favorite band, and a small astrology-based plaque, but my sister just surprised me with a mixed media Pug piece and my mother decided to give me a framed Georgia O’Keeffe print that I’ve always loved. That same sister also pointed me in the direction of Etsy, where I’ve found many beautiful pieces at affordable prices.

I used to think art collections were restricted to the rich, so it’s a relief to discover that I, too, can own nice prints and even originals. Collecting art will help support other artists, too.

I’m looking forward to finding more beautiful artwork that speaks to my heart. 3 weeks ago
