That's a good explanation De.

No, I am not much into "art" but do like some scenic pictures better than other things.
Miz micro on the other hand could be yer best friend...

Speaking of which, this week she went to a heart doctor and has a murmur of some sort. Now she's wearing one of those 2 week patches that transmits to a cell phone they give ya.

She's had a slight murmur her entire life. For some reason this doc thought she needed one of these contraptions.

She is not a happy person right now.......loL!!!

Re: “Just wondering. Do you really like or enjoy those pieces of art?”
Art is a funny thing. Does anyone really think the Mona Lisa is such a stunningly beautiful painting? I doubt it. Yet, if you enter any great metropolitan gallery, you'll likely find its walls replete with comparable portraits (though none with the Mona Lisa's value). It's the artist, the history, the collection, the subject or the precedent that makes many pieces notable. Notice that I didn't include "beauty."

Then there are abstracts. What are they all about? Frequently, nobody knows. In many cases, abstracts should be displayed in isolation, existing only to grant the wall relief from boredom.

I like some of our wall art... a minority... tremendously. The Bob Hope hat, the 1723 publication, the two fish fossils, the Le Kinff (which I gather you don't like) and several of the ocean scenes come to mind. They'll make the main floor. Others will go to the basement stairwell, the bare walls of which can hold dozens. Others may get rotated in and out. Still others, I'll evaluate and get rid of.

No, I *don't* like them all. But, sometimes, "interesting" is more important.
