"I got a wonderful present! I love original art. I collect it as I can afford it -- which is not nearly as much as I would like!! One of those loves that you never have enough of. "
wonderful story cosmo.
it is true that for any occasion or reason, the thought and connection behind the gift is what is lasting. very touching indeed. i have never experienced something such as your story myself.

Caracal ... took me more than 40 years to find someone that thoughtful! Definitely a keeper.
She got a GameCube and Harry Potter Goblet of Fire so I'm a gamer widow now. At least I have my painting to look at!

My physician paints ... he also happens to be Shell's doc as well. There was one painting that I fell totally in love with in his office. Unknown to me, Shell has been making payments on it for months. I was so delighted to open it!!!
Here is a pic of it ....
My doc nags me about the spirit/body healing connection, about remembering to meditate and that my mental health affects my fibro. Easy to say, but easy to forget in the day to day routine.
Every time I look at the painting, it reminds me of health, of well being and of the importance of remembering the healing value of keeping a serene spirit.
Gotta admit ... it's been a great help to me this past week! :wink:
Paradox ... a beige scarf is a perfect gift!! What material?? I'm partial to silk, but the damn stuff is so cold.
I guess everyone sees art differently, because it doesn't represent any of that to me. I was rather surprised that you would see it that way. It reminds me of the planet Mars, fire and brimstone,
or a virus under a microscope. Maybe I'm too literal. But, it is interesting how people see art in totally different ways.

My favourite present was a bottle of Babe by Faberge.
I also received a learn to dance
video that I'm really enjoying but it seems to be a bit hard on my back (blush). Woke up really stiff this morning.

RE: What was your favouri
unclepercy ... it IS a painting of microscopic biology ... he has a whole series of them. They are on the walls among his slightly abstract landscapes (which I like ... they draw you in and I can smell the moss) and his ocean paintings. It's how the painting makes me feel. I have no knowledge of microbiology but find his series on this quite compelling. I just liked it. No idea why.
Who can explain art and ones reaction to it? I'm not big on realism ... unless it black and white photography (shades of Ansel Adams and Mapplethorpe). All my paintings are stylized. This my first "abstract". It just feels good.
Art, to me, is about reaction. I should post one of my other paintings and see what others think of it. I fell in love with it immediately, but the artist found she had received mixed reactions to it in shows.
Hmmm ... could be an interesting new thread I think!

Re: RE: What was your favouri
Why don't you create a thread on abstract art? It would be interesting to me. I thought that looked like a virus. Geez - can't believe I was right after all.
