I sometimes ask myself, “What is art?” or “Is it art?”\u00a0 Usually I have these thoughts and questions after looking at some paint on a canvas and finding out it sold at Sotheby’s for fifty million dollars or more.\u00a0 Since I have been taking art class, this question comes up a lot.\u00a0 Another popular question I ask myself is, “Is it finished?”\u00a0 Usually my art teacher has to answer that one.\u00a0 She’ll urge me to, “STOP!!!!” when I’m about to put one or ten more strokes on a piece.\u00a0 I love the look of contemporary art in a traditional room, and Traditional Home<\/em> magazine has taught me that it is perfectly okay to mix the two.\u00a0 I think a pop of modern really ups the interest of a “by the book” room.<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

\"Modern<\/p>\n

You might remember seeing this painting before.\u00a0 I used this method<\/a> when I did it two years ago.\u00a0 It has been hanging in our great room, but when I hung the new art<\/a> that I wrote about yesterday, this piece had to find a new home.\u00a0 I moved it to the upstairs hallway, and it sure made a difference in the way that space looks.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Modern<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Did you notice that instead of hanging it vertically, I decided this time to hang it horizontally?\u00a0 The switch completely changes the way the colors look, and I like that A. LOT!!!\u00a0 You can’t tell from the photo that it meaures 36 x 40 inches.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"DIY<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

It has so much movement and depth because of the bold primary colors that I used.\u00a0 So, what do you think?\u00a0 Is it art?<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

Take care.<\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
