When you moved out of your parent's home, you landed on an empty nest even after all of your furniture was in place. Why? You saw empty walls.
That was your first awareness that it's nearly impossible to live in a cave regardless the quality of furnishings and paint colors. So you set out to find art most likely at a reasonable price point. But where did you find these pieces? Too many of us selected cheaply printed photography or graphic hangings. At least we had art on the walls. After awhile we began thinking about our choices. It is this time, this entry to that awareness that we always truly wanted more than that. We wanted art for art's sake. Remember that phrase? It is true. But as true is we want art that we can choose to live with for extended periods of time. Art that speaks to us. Warms our hearts, engages flashes of memories, or excites our senses with the art. When we look at the art we've chosen, we should be able to see what we wish to, hear the splash of the waterfall, smell the rose, hear the wind through the canyons, and trees, and feel the warmth of sun on the rocks or our hair. Even touch the smooth flower petals, or the raspy bark of a Eucalyptus, pine, fir or cherry tree.
We don't merely want a pic of an object, we want to smell it, feel it, and we want that to last. That means the photography art has to be special enough to be able to last for more than a month or so. We are choosing in essence a companion to our moods in our homes. So rather than heading back to an all-in-one-store, perhaps we begin the journey online looking at art that rewrites our gratification needs, some of which are heartfelt, some humorous, and some outrageously energizing.
