I have found a new interested or passion really in my life. Art. Yes, art. These days I am a full-on art buff. I only wish that I had gotten into this earlier. Then I might have had a more extensive art collection in my home to rest my eyes on after a hard day at work. I know that you can go to museums and get large coffee table books and so on. But that’s not the same thing really. Actually, that’s not at all the same thing, it’s not even close. I like to own the stuff. Now, it’s not that I like to own beautiful paintings to exclude others to have them all to myself or anything. But I do like to have time to enjoy a painting properly and to in good time contemplate its meaning. I’m sure the expert types who know all and everything about every painter who ever picked up a brush and can analyze 20 pieces in as many minutes but I’m not one of them. Plus I haven’t got time to hang around in museums or libraries all day. I have got earn some dosh to earn a living and so forth. Anyhow, it all adds up to one thing. I have got to own a painting to appreciate it fully. Luckily I have the financial means to start a small collection which I am about to do presently. The idea is get some main pieces, a foundation from online art auctions and slowly build a larger collection around these works.
