Art, anything goes...

Here's a piece we had on one of our walls for a while. I love this piece. It's by a local San Jose artist, Lacey, and it was one of several in a series of paintings with trees growing out of buildings.

It's in our spare room. We took it down and put up another one that had been in the bedroom when we got a new dresser that was high enough we didn't want a picture on the wall the dresser is on.

It's very pretty. Thanks for sharing that.

This is a piece we saw in the Bushwick area of Brooklyn while on a self guided street art tour almost a year ago. We saw a lot of cool street art during our trip and this one was one of the best.

Here's one I saw in the National Gallery in London, it's Still Life by Jan Davidsz. de Heem. I love the translucence the artist was able to create on the orange. Still life paintings are some of my favorite old, traditional artworks.

This is a piece my wife worked on for another artist. The panels are about 3 feet tall and 2 feet wide each. This is how it was shown at the Saatchi Gallery in London. Each panel is made entirely of glass and the apparatus for hanging them are glued to the back of each panel.

I love glass art, and took a stained-glass class around 1980. I'm sure this photo doesn't do her work justice. Would love to see it close up and in person.

Buenos Aires has a lot of wonderful, whimsical sculptures spread around the city. This was one of my favorite. I took this photo in 2015.

Kazimierz Stabrowski, Peacock (1908), National Museum, Warsaw. An example of Polish secessionist art, highly decorative, symbolical composition that seem fantastic combined with elements of Art Nouveau.

This is a series of pieces we bought at San Francisco open studios. The frames are art all by themselves. We bought the set of four but didn't like one of the images in one of the frames so my wife went up and visited the artist to pick another one of her images to have framed in the fourth frame. Now I forget which image wasn't in the initial set of three that caused us to buy all four.
