I created this one using acrylic paints, oil pastels, conte crayons and graphite dust. I also used impasto for some places on this piece. It's certainly interesting to look at. I like it. Since my husband likes it I put it over his desk:) Hopefully, it will inspire him while he's making music. This is only temporary, as I intend to send this one off to a good home! I just like to decorate my house with my art.
That's "Love and Beauty Meet" (photograph in my shop), and "Jacob's Ladder" (Original Oil Painting) up on the wall. That's my side of the bed, and I love seeing them when I first wake up! BTW, I do not use those weights that are on the dresser:) Wish I had time...
Having more art in the house has certainly improved our moods. I can see now that my husband is a little more motivated to clean up, and keep the place looking nice. I'm so happy. Finally! Who knew that a couple of pictures nailed up on the wall would do so much?
This is why people NEED art. It's not just there for decoration. It's there because it's essential. Why else would our ancestors have bother painting in caves? These weren't just cave paintings either. They were sacred places. Places where people gathered to contemplate daily life, humanity, god...
Art is God with an extra 'O', as Kanye West would say;-)

I love your wall decor, like several little paintings rather than one huge one! And your workspace looks great! Hope you find your sketchbook soon =)
Like your point about people 'needing' art - it's inspired me to go and read about why we have art.
@ Lemon Shortbread- Thank you! I was really happy with the way it turned out. Don't know how much luck I'll have with the sketchbook...
@Tobybear-That's cool! I do think that we need art. I don't know...There has to be an explaination for why we've created it for the past 30,000 years or so...I don't know.
