[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe not tacky but a bit immature and less intentional? [/quote]

Ok will attempt to clarify.  I’m an art lover with a smallish budget.  I don’t use art just as decor, l take it more seriously.  I go to a lot of museums and galleries and researching art that speaks to me is a hobby.  So when l add a piece to my collection it’s been thought about a lot…that’s what l mean by intentional. I do try to hang my art in aesthetically pleasing groupings, but the art itself is more important than how it goes with a color pallet for the room.

Just to give an idea of original art (or limited edition prints) I’ve purchased in about the last 4 years, to show it’s not all breaking the bank

1 original collage $50
I original painting $650
2 signed prints small edition (5 to 20) about $150 each
1 well known DC artist, print from small edition (5), $1500

I wish l had a bigger budget as l love art and supporting artists.  But still I’m very happy with my small and slowly growing collection

If you like art so much you should learn the difference between pallet/palate/palette.[/quote]  I will admit to being a terrible speller!  Doesn’t impact my love of art though[/quote]
