What Sort Of Artwork Hangs On Your Wall Or Takes Pride Of Place On Your Shelves?  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 97/100. ItTakesAllSorts (2203)   ranked 93 out of 32,910 in life 5 years ago

We all have different tastes in artwork.

Modern, classic, masterpieces, posters or drawing's our kids have done.

My walls have a mixture.
Paintings done by my sister and my children.
Modern prints by unknown artists and a few prints by Van Gogh and David Hockney and a couple of posters of my favourite musicians.
Also a collection of photos all in frames in my toilet.

Photographs of my family take pride of place on my shelves, and of course my children's drawings are on my fridge and kitchen cupboards.

Whats hanging on your walls or displayed on your shelves.

Art is in the eye of the beholder and represents our taste.

So what takes your fancy, that you have displayed in your home.

In my bedroom, I have native american themed art and crafts hanging on the wall, my living room just has a lot of family pictures, of my daughters and grand daughter, and just general family- my kitchen is done with a country theme!

An interesting array of artwork.
Our homes are like our own galleries and it is nice to display our interests.
Thanks.

I think when we have little ones our whole home is covered in their artwork.
It is always lovely to look at and gives our kitchen a makeover every few weeks when each new painting or drawing takes pride of place.
Thanks!!

Most of it is my own paintings, my father’s paintings, my collection of Chinese things, special figurines and things with some personal significance. Being a bit more than an occasional magpie, the collection has now grown to cover pretty much all available space.

Mementos of significant events, like publishing a book, also keep the paint clean. Some of the things are like a storyboard, like a new font I’m working on near the computer. I’ve also got some oak leaves, gum nuts, and other things blue tacked to the wall, they do look good.

Art is probably in the mind of the beholder. Which makes me wonder what decorators use for minds.


myLot reputation of 97/100. ItTakesAllSorts (2203)   ranked 93 out of 32,910 in life  5 years ago

Its great to have all our memories displayed around us. I love it.
All my photos in the toilet brings back many happy moments for me.

It is something that is precious to us and we can display what we like, even if it is not to everyones taste.

I have a picture in my head that your home does not have a blank bit of wall.
Whats the point of putting things in a drawer when it can be displayed.
Thanks.


myLot reputation of 98/100. Wanderlaugh (1103)   ranked 3,573 out of 32,910 in life  5 years ago

That's pretty right. I find it a good use of space, and it does help in my work to have a range of things available, both aesthetic and functional.

My home is covered with pictures of my daughter and grandbabies. A few things that I painted and mostly my angel collection. I have about 100 angels of all sizes scattered all over the house. My husband calls them "man killers" lol when I asked him why he said "cause if a man breaks one...he's dead". hehehe and he's right. ;-)


myLot reputation of 97/100. ItTakesAllSorts (2203)   ranked 93 out of 32,910 in life  5 years ago

LOL!!!!

I love going into other peoples homes and look at what they display.
It definately shows our individuality.

Your home must be very harmonious with all those angels, that is until your husband gets too close!!!!
Thanks for your response.

I have nothing but my father in law's artwork hanging on the walls in my house. He is wonderful and known internationally. I have included a pic of one of his works, this is a wood burning created on natural wood free handed. No inks or pens ever touch the wood. Any way, he does a variety of arts, from oils to pastels, to wood burning. He is a wonderful artist.

He is good and got a + rating from me.

It must be great to have the oppotunity to hang all his work on your walls.
I have done the same with my sisters, although I wish she would pull her finger out and realise that many people would buy her artwork if she put the effort in, but alas she is too lazy and a kept woman that I feel does not give her the motivation.

My son is a brilliant artist and is only 13 yrs old. I am thinking of changing my avatar to show one of his graffiti drawings, even though he is abit dubious!!

Thanks for your picture.

Heres a drawing of one of my sons tags!!!

I am the artist. My work is the faces of women with one eye. I believe that women need only one eye to see. Whereas men need two. My work is recognizable by the one eye. That is what is hanging on my walls,


myLot reputation of 97/100. ItTakesAllSorts (2203)   ranked 93 out of 32,910 in life  5 years ago

Why do women only need one eye?
Thanks.

In the livingroom, my husband's acrylic paintings of medieval life scenes and warriors. His suit of armor forged by him from old defunct street signs he procured from a junkyard is standing in the corner, waiting for him to wear for demos and weekend medieval war practice. Likewise all the medieval weapons he's made from rattan, tennis balls and duct tape. On the shelves are statues of knights and fantasy birds of prey and dragons and a drinking tankard collection.
The walls are painted like bricks from the interior of a castle, heavy tapestried curtain are at the windows (which I;ve sown) and wooden chests, ottomans and stuffed chairs complete the room.
Need I say more?

My own< I had a few musical posters up, but my gf removed them and asked me to put up my own stuff, so, how could one refuse a compliment like that?
