Salem Art Fair happening this weekend and later today I hope to find something that I NEED to bring home. I walk around the setting in the park and want one of everything. If only I were a professional basketball player just having signed a free agent contract the past few weeks. Incredible money going to players who haven't done all that much in their career to this point.
But I digress. I never cared much for the artsy-fartsy scene until six years ago. Thankful now that I was open to changes in my lifestyle. These days I like to think of myself as a collector. A question that stumped me upon being asked as I was purchasing my first painting. I couldn't see on that day what would develop. My style? ..... Modern Eclectic Eccentric Wierdo maybe? Leaning towards the works of local artists. I love looking around my place and thinking: "This is Oregon. This is the Northwest!" I know nothing about what I'm collecting. Just working off emotions and reactions to what I see. What moves my inner freak.
I do have a thing for the abstract image with some sort of recognizable human figure dealing with confusion or dilemma.
Thus I venture forth with eyes wide open ....
