and there is a lot of stereotypical thinking that goes into art as to where to display it and how. An example is the typical nature painting in living rooms, over the couch.
I have my art on my walls and sometimes I switch it around just for the change. I hang my own paintings and drawings because otherwise they would be propped against the back wall of my closet which it was before I moved to New Mexico. I also have art hanging that was given to me over the years which I love. I have artwork which I’ve done specifically for the kitchen or the bathrooms or the living room but mostly I just paint what I want to and somehow it works out. What other people think of it is not my worry. Most people like it. Most will admire particular paintings that catch their eye and it’s surprising how many are also artists. Many people own some of my art which makes me feel good about it too. Over my lifetime I’ve given a lot of art away, many times just because the person liked it so much.
But even though I’ve hung much of my art I still have lots put away but it’s still available if anyone wants to look at it. Every once in a while I pull it out to look at and I’ll decide to display it, or not. I have a lot to choose from and everything I do now just adds to my choices.
