Affordable Art


AA #7
$50





We need art.

The human animal is different from all the
other animals. While we share many
characteristics with our fellow planet mates,
the need for water, air, shelter, even
companionship, we are alone in our appreciation
of art. Wolves may howl at the moon, but I don't
believe it is because they find it beautiful.

We are visual beings. Our eyes allow us to
experience the world both near and far. We
must be relatively near to the source of the
stimuli to hear, taste, smell or feel. But with
our eyes we experience things that are miles
away, even millions of miles, in the case
of the heavens.






 Art lifts our spirits. It renews us. It arouses
our sense of awe. It is so important to us
that we spend millions of dollars on it.
 Take van Gogh's "Sunflowers", for instance.

What drove a man to spend 40 million dollars for a piece of canvas covered
with a few ounces of oil and pigments.
Obviously he saw more than that.
He saw something so precious that
he was willing to spend what was
at that time an unprecedented amount
of money.






This brings me to the point of this post.
I believe that art shouldn't be only for
the wealthy. I know there are many who would like to have a piece of fine art
to call their own, but they feel that art
is beyond their budget.
AA Red #1
$35

To this end, I am introducing my
'Affordable Art' series. These are small
sculptures priced to be affordable to
those on even the tightest of budgets.
These pieces range in size from five to
eighteen inches tall. I hope to keep them
priced from $100 or less, with many
pieces priced under $50. Their small size
also allows them to be shipped at a
reasonable cost.
They make great gifts for the art
lover in your life, or for the person who
has everything.
