What is Art to Me
63I grew up without art in my parents home. There were no portraits, no paintings, no ceramics, no art of any kind. Do I have art in my home today? Actually, yes, I do. I have one painting in my home that was painted by my Aunt. That is really the only piece of art that I own and the only piece of art that I feel that I will ever need in my life.
Do I need art in my life? No, I don't think I do. Art isn't going to improve the quality of my life whatsoever. Having a portrait, a painting or a piece of ceramic is not going to make my life any better than it is. Art is an inaminate object so I don't place great value on anything that isn't breathing.
Art to me is unimportant. What is important to me is the health and welfare of the people I love and care about. If we don't have our health then we have nothing.
I think I feel this way about art because I have never had an overflowing amount of money that I could spend on frivilous items. I have always had just enough money to get by and do the things in life that I need to do. Art is frivilous. It is something that we can live without.
I know there are a lot of people in the world that treasure and love art. There are a lot of artists in the world that make a living creating art. That is fine for them. There will always be somebody, somewhere that will purchase their work and enjoy it. I, unfortunately am not one of them.

Art is all things to all people, try creating some yourself using Paint.NET, you may change your mind.
