Do you buy paintings for your house ?

[protectionist]

As we drive around out towns/cities, we see thousands of houses & apartment buildings. I sometimes wonder what is on the walls of all those houses. Do they have original paintings, cheaper prints of paintings, or maybe just thousands of square feet of boring, blank walls.

Does your house have paintings on its walls ? Or maybe some other things hanging there. A guitar, mandolin, violin ? Baseball caps ?

What do you have, and if your walls need something to brighten them up, liven them up, have you thought about adding some culture and color to them ? I really wonder if people think much about what is on the walls of their house, that they see every day.

Yes, local artist excellent work and hides things in his paintings. Gives you a list of what to look for in the painting. Hides little things you wouldn't see unless you looked hard. Jim Hansel is virtually blind and paints unbievable scenes He is a little less detailed than Norlein but fantastic for being almost blind

No, the house I live in now came with paintings so I left them on the walls. There by Jackie.

Funny you asked.

Growing up my family had few pictures on the wall, but both sets of my grandparents had walls filled with prints and family photos. I noticed that when I got old enough that my same-age friends had family homes, they all had pictures on nearly every wall. Tose pictures seemed like a lot of trouble. In college, I made the mistake of letting my girlfriend move in with me, and she brought/bought pictures to fill the walls of "our" apartment. Seemed like a lot of trouble for nothing.

Somehow, among all the other ways we are compatible, Mrs. Flops has no interest in pictures on the wall. We got a large painting of a sailboat for a wedding gift, and dutifully hung it up, only to ditch it the first time we moved. Later our grown son got us a print of Mrs. Flops and me as Napoleon and his wife. We hung it high above our bar until one day I opened the front door during a thunderstorm while Mrs. F. had the backdoor open watching the lightning and the wind blew it off and it broke.

Just took a walk around to verify. Nope, not one damn picture on any wall!

I have big vintage photos, all framed and with glass, of Paris in the 20s, several prints and one big painting that my Dad did, he painted beautifully, he is gone now.


I don't need more paintings.

I used to paint, do ceramics, sew, knit, macrame, and anything that caught my interest. I would still be doing ceramics, but all the greenware shops shut down long ago, and its gotten too expensive anyway.

My walls are bare, except for one picture I found on the internet. I love this picture so much, I has it printed on canvas and made into a hanging photo. It is the only picture I have on my wall.
