My mom started really painting about 5 years before she passed away. Most of her work could be described as experimentation without intent. She'd find an animal in a photo, find some photos of various trees or grasses or a river - whatever. She'd then paint a similar animal to the one in the photo, in a different pose, in a setting made up of various combinations of landscape elements loosly based on the landscape/flora photos. She never had a purpose, other than to 'try some things out'. Everyone who's ever seen any of her paintings has said something to the effect of "Wow, that's so beautiful!" I consider the paintings art because they let other people enjoy the vision my mother had of a setting that did not exist anywhere other than her mind. Her intent is irrelevant. She created beauty, others enjoy it and take away something they didn't have before; it's art. My opinion, of course. YMMV [img]http://www.daveingram.com/ozones/glassdassig.jpg[/img] Loading...
