| Precarious Stack of Vintage Bowls Watercolor 12.5 x 9 |
Just last week my son was searching for some white glazed pots for his indoor plants. His trips to some Mom and Pop plant stores yielded much better results than a trip to Lowe's. Large discount houses cater to the lowest common denominator with more generic products. The same with art prints which have been killed with correctness. Of course, we all need those deep discounts in some arenas of our lives. But, for me, what we choose to put on our walls defines us personally....our senses of visual aesthetics. No generic here, please. Original art is one of a kind. It has a personality and character all its own. It speaks of the artist's hand who created it. Lively. Nurturing. Lovely. The more I am able to celebrate my own uniqueness, my own oneness, the less I am able to tolerate generic artwork.
So, OK. Buy generic toilet paper....bars of soap in bulk. But engage in the liveliness of original art and the artists who choose to spend their lives in wonder. Participate. Oh, yeah.
