Art for Art's sake !


Recommended Posts

Does anyone like to buy art of any sort ?

 

I just picked up a limited edition  print by Amanda Murray from a pub near Newton Stewart that sells the pictures on its walls that are by local artists. http://www.creativewhithorn.co.uk/latest-artist-at-the-whithorn-story/

 

I've also bought a couple by Borders' artist Lesley McClaren .

Can anyone else recommend an artist ?

Now,if she gets a major exhibition followed shortly after by a fatal car crash I'll be quids in..

 

I also like Chris Riddell - the current Children's Laureate, he seems quite a prolific illustrator so perhaps it wouldn't be too expensive to get one of his drawings.

and this bit of graffiti on a wall in Polmadie which might be a bit tricky to obtain....

This was in my house when I moved in and whilst I'm not really art-y I really do like it:

instead of keeping her you should have told the poor old dear that her evil kids had sold her house and she was now in a nursing home....

Sorry not the old woman the picture within her picture is the picture that was left in my house that I like.

 

Didn't think I'd need to explain that to be honest Tam, of course I wasn't left Whistlers Mother.
