I am not an art lover... I can appreciate the work of the artists here on TFP because they can do what I absolutely cannot... it's wonderful work and they are very talented people... but it doesn't stir anything in me... (I felt the same way about seeing the mona lisa - i was suprised at how small it was.. and other supposed 'great works of art' - they're pretty - but they wouldn't work in my living room)
Photography - and seeing things thru the eye of the photographer is the art that I do really appreciate.. On each of my trips to Australia, I brought back a print of a photographer (that if I ever would have my picture taken, I'd want him to do it because I love his eye) Robert Billington's work I just love...
I have on one wall in my living room..
is on my bedroom wall because it makes me smile (and I got it on sale)
There's another one that I have that I can't find of two cute little boys on the front of the ferry to Bondi Beach.. there's a mist around them and it's just incredible
