What sort of art do you have in your place?

[Archae]

Besides a family picture, and a kitten calendar, (naturally,) I have two pictures on my walls, that relatives gave to me.

[pinboy3niner]

1. A gift from a Buddhist monk in Vietnam...

After I visited a temple and spent some time talking to the monks there, the next day one of them came by the house where I was staying to bring me this. The gods depicted are sort of my personal guardian angels, he told me. The figures are painted on mirrored glass...

[BainsBane]

4. Cool!

[pinboy3niner]

9. A few more

I keep this photo in my bookcase because it just seems to fit there. I took it at Lincoln Memorial in 1977, and somehow I lucked out on the camera settings because it came out with rich sepia tones (though this photo makes it look brighter than it is).



And in the dining room, a cheap piece from Target that I chose simply because it's warm and inviting...



Like you, I also have a mirror...but mine actually has a mirror in the frame, lol. I saw it at Pier 1 and liked the shape and the mosaic border...



Above my desk I have a signed, numbered lithograph of Lee Teter's 'Reflections' that my brother gave me some years ago This is an image of it from the web, but mine is matted and framed...

[BainsBane]

15. That last one is really nice

I hadn't seen that before.

[olddots]

2. lots of political/humor sick twisted stuff

it was a crappy job but somebody had to do it

[BainsBane]

3. I have a variety

An abstract painting my father did, as well as some of his photographs, some Pre-Raphaelite prints, some Impressionist prints, various other things I've picked up along the way.


Here are a couple


This goes above my bed


A print of a Monet vase of flowers I can't find an image of right now.

I also have a Moroccan wrought iron mirror frame on the wall, with no mirror in it.

17. Both of those are great

You have a good eye for art--no wonder you aced the Friday Afternoon Challenge the first time out.

[rug]

5. I love this piece.

[pinboy3niner]

6. Billy gets around, lol!

I also like this little objet d'art...

[rug]

7. Lol, he should get together with the smoking monkey with the cymbals.

[petronius]

8. Maps, paintings and photos from local(-ish) artists, and a

selection of photos from an ancestor of my wife who did a fair bit of traveling in the high latitudes a century ago...

[csziggy]

10. Mostly needlework I've done and various prints from different sources

Some original paintings we've picked up over the years. A fabulous sand blasted glass image of a Pegasus.

Mostly notably, an original pastel of a street in Florence, Italy, by my husband's great-grandfather (or maybe his uncle).

Odds and ends of stuff we've collected over the last 35+ years.

[Earth_First]

11. I collect limited edition concert prints...

I have several from a variety of bands, particularly from artists that I admire...Tyler Stout, Jim Pollock, EMEK and a few others.

I have a few Shepard Farie prints that are in flat file, not framed.

A great resource for this type of stuff: www.expressobeans.com

[kwassa]

12. My own.

This note is useless without pictures, but I don't have any, really.

[Sherman A1]

37. Same here

mostly my own photography from vacations and day trips.

[hunter]

13. Everything, on all the walls.

Drawings and paintings my wife and I did when we were kids, our kid's drawings and paintings and photographs from childhood to present (as adults they carry on the family tradition of art), grandparents and other relatives' art, a whole lot of stuff we've bought from local artists, friends' art, a collection of Bob Ross inspired thrift store art, sculptures, old windows we recovered from places that were torn down, some stain glass, religious art... it all fights for space with the books; books being another kind of art.

[Chan790]

14. A couple of Beardsleys, my own art, a phrenology head, a voodoo doll,...

a small collection of pop art, a Goya and a lithograph of a Basquiat.

[RebelOne]

16. Native American artwork and family photos. n/t

[LadyHawkAZ]

18. I have a set of 3 watercolor nudes

I was going to post photos and risk the Wrath of Jury, but the photos washed out a lot of the color. They're quite lovely though.

[femmocrat]

19. Some paintings I did in college.

It is so darn expensive to have art professionally framed that I only have a few hanging up.

[applegrove]

21. I used to put up pictures of family but

Last edited Sun Aug 18, 2013, 12:02 AM - Edit history (2)

have moved so many times I just didn‘t bother to decorate. All I have up are two framed pictures. Each of the home of my grandmothers. I have two I need to hang: one of geese flying which I got when we sold the cottage, the other Emily Carr‘s “Indian Church“ where a church is overwhelmed by the West Coast rain forest. This last one reminds me that humans are tiny in the grand scheme of things and that nature/science are the real miracles.

22. My walls are covered with my own photography...

I almost got run over in the middle of Columbus and Kearny sts taking this one!

[pinboy3niner]

26. Nice photo!

That's quite a contrast.

[BlueJazz]

23. Abstract I have this one on my living room wall 4x6 ft.

[NV Whino]

24. My own paintings and photographs...

And those of fellow artists and photographer, and sculptors.

Small house, lots of art.

[mockmonkey]

25. I don't think...

what I have on the wall you could call art. I think the proper word is.....spaghetti.

[HeiressofBickworth]

27. I have grouped collections

of antique family photos and a few water colors (1871, 1905, 1930, 1938 and one undated). The family photos are sorted according to this dictum: One must be dead to hang in my living room. All the rest go in photo albums.

[edbermac]

28. Framed print of Starry Night by Van Gogh

[Bertha Venation]

29. Heidi made us a beautiful work of art

as a wedding present. I would post it here if I weren't on my phone. I cherish it.

Heidi and Call Me Wesley too. :loveya

[Rowdyboy]

30. We have copies of two prints by Donald Roller Wilson (Robin Williams collects his real work)

These are not the same ones we have but are close....

[olddots]

36. my favorite artist

very nice site to visit ..... check it out

[u4ic]

31. Dogs playing poker

[GReedDiamond]

32. I have a lot of "lowbrow" - "pop surrealism"...

..."street art" whatever it's called now. Originals and/or limited editions of:

Mark Ryden, Stacy Lande, Tim Biskup, JoKa, Stendaro, Todd Schorr, Gary Baseman, Robert Williams, Ed Hardy, Gaijin Fujita, Bonni Reid, Mear 1, Haze, plus other artists I can't recall right now.

I also have a large collection of Germs art - originals, limited editions, sculptures, and more.

See my post in the Artist's Group about the Vincent Price Art Museum show, on which I'm working with Germs.

Plus I have stuff by me and my kid, Abe K, who is a master printmaker, along with work by Abe's mother, and my maternal grandfather, who was a "plein air" landscape painter in Colorado until his passing in the early 80s.

Also, from the early to mid 20th C, some Jacques Villon, Emil Filla, Millard Wells, Robert Weil, and and some rare Marcel Duchamp ephemera, including an unauthenticated original.

I just moved into a new place, with a little less room, so things are stacked and piled around a lot, it's a real problem.

[XemaSab]

34. I was thinking "This dude has cool shit"

the second I saw "Mierda."

Which is the universe's way of saying that you have cool shit.

I hope it's insured.

[GReedDiamond]

35. I have "renters" insurance...

...it would cover maybe 1 or 2 of the higher priced pieces...so, no, I'm not really insured.

Mebbe I'll insure the Mierda piece, just to be on the safe side.

Thanks and Best Wishes!

33. define art. we have Jaworski crystal, crap loads of the animals, some silver samovars

Some.papyrus paintings, lots of nineteenth century oils from europe, theatre masks, lots of photography, some japanese water colours, some artifacts from persia and south america and gawd knows what else. My other half has always been an art collector. Also lots of antique furntiture which i guess is art and some cases of the chigal i think its spelled chateau de rothschild as she loves the label, 1971 or so.

[LiberalEsto]

38. Stuff from garage sales

Every couple of years I'll come across a print, poster or original painting that I like. Nothing potentially valuable, just pleasing.
