Edwin Mah asked:
Have you ever been at the clinic, waiting for your turn to see the doctor, and all you see on the walls around you are posters on cancer prevention, reminders for you to do your annual medical checkups, dealing with rheumatism in old age, diabetes… the list goes on. All around us, we’re flooded with uncomfortable images and messages that remind us that we really need to take good care of our health. Although these posters are there for a reason – to inform and educate, they certainly add an unwelcome addition because they inject an element of fear into all of us. Here we are, waiting to see the doctor, worried sick that our illness could get worse, and all we see in front of us are images and information about illnesses and disease. We really don’t need these at this time. Tell us these things when we’re well, not when we’re sick.
Having been a patient myself (and who hasn’t), the waiting area at the doctor’s office is quite a stressful place to be. As you’re waiting for your turn to see the doctor, your mind is full of apprehension and uncertainty as to what the diagnosis might be. The last thing you want is to be bombarded with images and media detailing out a plethora of possible ailments you could be diagnosed with. It just adds to the stress.
Strip this entire media off the walls, I say. Remove every shred of evidence that this place is a clinic. Patients don’t need reminders as to why they’re there. Put in its place decorative art work. Surround the walls with art and beauty. Put some framed pictures on the assistant’s counter top. Having a beautiful piece of art to look at will certainly make your wait a lot more pleasant and take your thoughts away from all things unpleasant. Art may also accelerate the healing process. This is the reason why some hospitals have beautiful art hung on its walls. This is what the patient really needs.
What kind of art to display, you might ask. Well, apart from movie or music posters, because they hardly seem appropriate, almost any other kind of art will do. A good choice would be abstract art. Pick something that has soft, pastel colors that calms the mind when looked upon. Abstract, or contemporary art, doesn’t represent anything in its true form, but rather it is an abstract representation of it. Much of it is left for the user to interpret what it’s all about. This will certainly keep the patients busy as they wait their turn. Abstract art will give the place a nice contemporary feel and make it seem less like a clinic and more like an art gallery.
There are many choices of abstract art to choose from. Prints of abstract flowers will add a nice, warm touch to the office. What about black and white abstracts? This will create an interesting contrast with the colors around it. You could also display abstract art of other genres, like collages, geometric abstracts, abstract landscapes and abstract figures, among others. The choices are plentiful. If you’re not into contemporary art, why not use pictures of animals? A picture of a cute kitten or puppy can do wonders to encourage healing and comfort. If you can’t keep a real pet in the doctor’s office, then display a picture of one. The effect may not be the same, but it certainly is nice to look at and takes a great deal of stress off the patient.

Renee Castelluzzo asked:
CHICAGO, IL A growing trend among independent artists is evident in the number of artists who are selling paintings, sculpture and fine art photos on the internet.
Chicago based DiscoveredArtists.com, an internet marketplace for buying and selling art, reports that more than four-hundred artists have joined their online art gallery in the past sixty days.
These international, independent artists are following a growing trend among artists who are searching for a better way to sell their art. They’re looking for an alternative to selling at art shows and to relying on art galleries to represent them.
The cost to exhibit work at art shows, according to many artists has skyrocketed over the recent summer season. And, traditionally, artists have relied on art galleries to represent them. But, few artists are able to get galleries to sell their work and, even those who can, are often frustrated by the high commissions that galleries attach to each sale where an artist receives only half of the selling price.
So, many artists are looking for a better way to show and to sell their art, and they’re looking to the internet as the next, big thing.
Established artists as well as emerging artists are flocking to the internet to promote their work and sell their artwork online to the general public more efficiently.
One of them is veteran artist, Richard Black, creator of Smokey the Bear and illustrator of the legendary advertising icon, Mr. Clean. The internet-savvy artist started his career long before plastic keyboards were invented, but was quick to embrace the world wide web as a place to show and sell his art.
Black, who is an eighty-something, teaches at a local university, paints every day and regularly uploads finished paintings to his online art gallery. Like most artists he has had to acquire the technical skill to photograph and create high resolution images that are so important for successful e-commerce art sales.
Of course, internet generation artists like fine art photographer Crina Prida are a natural for showing and selling their work online. Prida who is a medical student, lives and works in Cluj, Romania and has only been a serious photographer for two years.
The artist has already won a number of local competitions, but more important, she is gaining internationl exposure by showing and selling her work online.
Starting artists like Prida who promote themselves on the internet are positioned to create a much larger following for their work than previous generations of artists ever could hope to cultivate.
And this is why artists are flocking to show and sell their work online. Self-representation in what is now a world-wide art gallery is a trend that is quickly changing the art world, and how artists go to market.
And, it’s a positive change for art buyers, too. Real art is now more accessible and more affordable to the general public than ever before. For the first time in history artists have a practical way to show and sell their work, and buyers have a practical way to find and buy real art. The internet is a worldwide art gallery a thousand times larger than the Louvre and much easier to browse.

Craig Chambers asked:
I gave my home that great, southwestern look by adding ceremonial drums to my rustic decor. I was so happy with the authentic, rustic look that the Native American drums added to my home, that I started researching and reading about the history and the primary role they play in Native cultures. If you are like me, you have probably seen how meaningful ceremonial drums are to the Native culture but do not realize their importance in Native ceremonies or how exactly they are used. Every tribe is different in how they use ceremonial drums but one similarity between each tribe is that the Native drums are very important and part of the main focus of the ceremony. Throughout my studies, I have come to find that learning about these drums truly gives you a great appreciation of the American Indian culture and their customs.
As you start studying about ceremonial drums, you will find it very intriguing that the Native Americans think of the ceremonial drum to be sacred. They are usually used in powwows, Shamanic ceremonies and honor ceremonies to come in contact with the Spirits and to connect with their creator. It is believed that each drum holds a spirit and that the drum beat signifies the heart beat of Mother Nature. Since the drum is believed to connect the people with the spirit world and guide the a healer in helping his people, you will see that they are commonly used by the healers or Shaman to enter the mind state, known as the Shamanic journey, needed to connect with the Spirits.
Also, as you study the importance of ceremonial drums in today’s culture, you will find that Native Indian drums play a significant part in the livelihood of American Indian tribes such as the Tarahumara. Making and selling these rustic style drums allows them to earn a living, through selling and trading their cultural hand crafts, and helps them extend the knowledge and traditions of their culture to those who buy them. The drum making knowledge, passed on from generation to generation in these tribes, teaches the drum makers how to make durable and long-lasting ceremonial drums with elements from the Earth and the environment around them such as pine wood and natural raw hide.
Today, Native Indian drums are not only used in Indian ceremonies such as Indian drumming groups and as Native American musical instruments, but they are also gaining popularity as pieces of decorative art, instruments used in school music classes and even as canvases for Native American art projects and southwestern paintings. Some types of ceremonial drums are also used as rustic style furniture and Native American decor, such as the larger powwow drums and pedestal drums that are used as rustic tables. Today, it is very easy to buy these beautiful Native American ceremonial drums online and in stores that sell southwestern, western and rustic decor. However you decide to use your ceremonial drum, whether for drumming purposes or in interior design, you will definitely be drawn to the simplistic charm and southwest style of ceremonial drums.

Because I love southwest decorating, I recently added ceremonial drums as part of the rustic, southwest decor in my new home. I was so happy with the beautiful, rustic feel that the Native American drums brought to my home, that I started learning about the history and the influential role they play in tribal cultures.
If you are like me, you have probably seen how significant ceremonial drums are to the Native culture but do not understand their significance in Native ceremonies or how exactly they are used.

As you begin learning about ceremonial drums, you will find it very intriguing that the Native Americans consider the ceremonial drum to be sacred.
They are usually used in powwows, Shamanic ceremonies and honor ceremonies to call on the Spirits and to connect with their creator. It is believed that each drum has a spirit and that the drum beat signifies the heart beat of Mother Nature. Since the drum is believed to connect the people with the spirit world and direct the a healer in helping his people, you will find that they are commonly used by the healers to enter the mind state, known as the Shamanic journey, needed to connect with the Spirits.
Also, as you research the importance of ceremonial drums in modern culture, you will see that Native Indian drums play a significant role in the livelihood of native tribes such as the Tarahumara. Making and selling these rustic style drums allows them to earn a living, by selling and trading their cultural hand crafts, and helps them disperse the knowledge and traditions of their culture to those who purchase them.
The drum making knowledge, passed on from generation to generation in these tribes, teaches the drum makers how to make durable and long-lasting ceremonial drums with elements from the Earth and the environment around them such as pine wood and natural rawhide.
Today, American Indian drums are not only used in Indian ceremonies such as Native American drum groups and as Indian musical instruments, but they are also gaining popularity as pieces of decorative art, instruments used in school music classes and even as canvases for Native American art projects and southwestern paintings. Some types of ceremonial drums are also used as southwest style furniture and Native American decor, such as the larger powwow drums and pedestal drums that are used as rustic tables.
Today, it is very easy to buy these unique Native American ceremonial drums online and in stores that sell southwestern, western and rustic home decor. However you choose to use your ceremonial drum, whether for drumming groups or in home decorating, you will definitely be drawn to the rustic charm and western style of ceremonial drums.
Renee Castelluzzo asked:
Maybe you buy art simply to decorate. Most of us do. We have a blank wall and want something fabulous, so we go looking for a great piece of art.
But, have you ever considered collecting art? Take a look around at the art on your walls to see if there’s a common thread or theme that emerges. Do you have a number of florals? More than one landscape? Or, maybe you have a budding art collection of pieces purchased on trips you’ve taken.
Of course, when we talk about paintings, we’re talking about real art. Art that’s created by actual, living artists. Not art you’d buy in a department store. So, if you have that kind of art – real art – you can stop thinking of it as a bunch of paintings, and turn it into a budding art collection.
Here’s a wonderful example of real art that’s collectible and affordable. This fine art photo could be the beginning of a wonderful Americana art collection. There are literally thousands of artists who artfully document everything American, including this example of a vintage sign advertising the last privately owned bar in Fort Lee, New Jersey. The artwork titled The Last One is a 20″ x 24″ print available for $125 from fine art photographer Nick D’Andrea. http://www.discoveredartists.com/.
A collection of vintage, neon bar signs or advertising symbols from the 1950’s could create an interesting, decorative art wall while at the same time become an enjoyable pursuit as you hunt for more Americana artwork.
But, the subject area for art collection themes is wide open. For example if you absolutely love cityscapes and have photos of skylines and skyscrapers, before you know it you’re an Architectural Art Collector. Or, if you have a couple of floral or animal prints, and begin collecting similar pieces, you can build a collection of botannicals or nature artworks
Believe it or not, chickens and cows are very big with collectors. These are creatures that artists particularly like to paint, often because of the challenge of turning fur and feathers into interesting, lifelike figures with personality. Rooster 25 is a perfect example of an artist who took on and met the challenge. This fierce looking bird already has his feathers ruffled, ready to strike without provocation. The painting is an original 12″ x 12″ oil on canvas by artist Ilse Kleyn and sells for $100 in the artist’s DiscoveredArtists.com gallery. http://www.discoveredartists.com/
So, all you really need to do to become an art collector is to put some thought into your art buying. Before you know it, instead of just buying art, you’ll be collecting art. Decide on a theme based on art that appeals to you. Perhaps you love raku vases, or glass art. Or, maybe you’re attracted to bronze figurines. If you’re into wall art then cityscapes and watercolors from a particular country could become a theme for your collection.
Cityscape at Dusk is a wonderfully warm, inviting photo that captures a moment in time at the intersection of North, Damen and Milwaukee Avenues in Chicago’s Bucktown neighborhood. Collecting photos and original art that takes you back to places you’ve visited or neighborhoods where you once lived adds meaning to the art that you use to decorate your home or office. This fine art photo by photographer Kurt Kramer can be purchased for $90 in his online gallery at DiscoveredArtists.com and is just one in a series of collectible, big city neighborhood cityscapes.
So, as you can see, there’s no end and no limit to the types of themes for collecting art. In fact, many collectors just buy what they like and create collections comprised of favorite artworks. These are collections that bring the owner years of pleasure and great satisfaction.
In fact, when compared to using art simply to decorate or to impress someone, collecting art gives you an even greater payoff. The process of collecting art is a life enriching hobby that beautifully mirrors who you are and shows the world what you love. It can return a lifetime of satisfaction and value.

Andy Asbury asked:
I’ve always admired people who decorate their house as though it were an art form. They don’t necessarily follow all the rules and combine colors and styles in a creative, almost bohemian style of decorating. The result is a home that truly reflects the personalities of its owners. The hard part is accomplishing this and still having a house that is marketable from a resale standpoint.
One couple in particular comes to mind. They were both artists, who had mainstream jobs, but managed to use their home as a canvas. Every room was totally unique, peppered with treasures from hours of antique hunting, such as ornate carved sconces, original furniture, and re-used columns and doors selected for their architectural originality. The children’s craft room had a 12 foot paper mache dragon suspended from the ceiling with huge, shining outstretched wings.
This is an extreme example of artful decorating, but there are some things the average person can do to spice up their home, and make the decor a little more original.
Don’t be shy to display your collections. If you’re a collector, you’ve probably spent numerous hours and money completing that set of bone china teacups or cranberry glass serving dishes. Whatever your theme may be, show it off. This means bringing out the special platters and dishes for dinners and not leaving them hidden away in cupboard.
Combine items by grouping items with similar uses, colors and shapes. It’s much more dramatic to feature a collection of old medicine bottles in a group than placed individually, here and there. A collection of blue vases, in different sizes and shapes blend together when displayed together on a shelf or tabletop.
Items with similar themes, such as a bottle of wine with a couple of wine glasses on either side, can appear more interesting than if displayed separately. A collection of artwork with similar frames also can be hung as a grouping.
The fabulous look of fabric. Get out those vintage hats, shawls or unusual pieces of fabrics to be used as attractive accent pieces.
Recycle and reuse. Scour the architectural salvage companies for one-of-a-kind items such as, reclaimed columns, flooring, ornate gates, mantels and wrought iron. These types of pieces add character to your home and make for an interesting decor.
Above all, don’t be timid; when it comes to artful decorating, you have to be willing to step outside of the box and explore new possibilities. Pour yourself a glass of wine, look around the room and begin your creative adventure!

Kim Stone asked:
When looking to a source for interior decorating inspiration, be critical in a way that will help you to refine and define your own taste. When turning to the work of another designer for decorating ideas, carefully look at the room and consider the basics: floor, walls, ceiling, and overall ambiance. Do not focus on details. When you are done, ask yourself these questions:
• How does this room make me feel?
• Is it too formal?
• Are the colors too light or too dark?
• Is the flooring too dark or would I rather have something darker and more anchored?
• Is the wallpaper/wall color intriguing or annoying?
• Is the furniture warm, dark, white, or colored?
• What do I like and or dislike?
Here are some sources of inspiration for home decorating ideas you may not have thought of:
Visit Design Models – Visit model homes, take home tours, or go to decorator show houses and checkout the work of talented interior designers.
Design Shows on TV – Watch a few shows to see what you like, then visit their websites for project information on interior decorating ideas.
Museums, Auctions, Antiques – If you are interested in period or antique furniture, visit the decorative arts departments in area museums and online interior design museums as well as auction houses, antique stores, and antique shows. This will help you become familiar with what is available in home decorating and educate you in the value of such pieces.
Interior Decorating Books and Magazines – Browse your local or online bookstore or library, or subscribe to magazines on home decorating. They will expand your knowledge of the design process and the materials and choices available to you as well as offering many interior decorating ideas.
Choose a Home Decorating Theme – Selecting an interior decorating theme is one of the easiest ways to decorate. Themes range from teddy bears in the baby’s room to pears for the kitchen. The list is limited only by your imagination. When choosing a theme for decorating ideas, consider hobbies, dreams, locations, and design elements in your home.
Choose a Decorating Style – Decorating styles provide a guideline defining which colors, textures, and elements to consider while excluding the things that won’t work. Common interior decorating styles include contemporary, Japanese, Tuscan, Mediterranean, and Country Ranch styles.
Research Online – The Internet offers thousands of links to online decorating tools, sites, and examples of home decorating ideas, as well as links to furniture manufacturers, color pallets, and wallpaper and fabric samples.
Fabric – The starting point for many successful decorating projects is a wonderful piece of fabric. Visit a fabric store for decorating ideas and get cuttings of everything that appeals to you. Be sure to stand at least 10 feet back from a sample fabric to get an overall sense of the design and color.
Decorating File – Keep a file of home decorating ideas with printouts, pictures, magazine clippings, and samples of fabric, paint, flooring, and paint.
Work with a Designer – Seek out a designer for a consultation, to complete a project, or for interior decorating ideas.

Maurice Robertson asked:
The West has had a love affair with Chinese & Japanese decorative arts for the past 350 years! & it is still growing in popularity.
In 1650, The Dutch East India Company opened the doors of Europe to the discovery of Japanese porcelain. To the Europeans, it was “love at first sight” when the bright Imari porcelain first arrived.
The name “Imari” is derived from the name of the trading port granted by the Japanese Emperor. Soon these highly decorative porcelain patterns became known as “Imari”.
The decoration was in fact, derived from the sometimes identical patterns found in Japanese textiles & brocades. A standard range of colours make up the traditional palette. These being a rich cobalt blue combined with deep iron red to produce the basic colours which are then often embellished with pale blue, yellow, aubergine, greens & black.
“Shown with custom made pleated, silk shades, a beautiful, big pair of antique, Imari lamps, the bright enamel palette still aglow and still as fresh as new, even after 100 years plus!”
These highly coloured Imari porcelains were much favoured by the Europeans of the 18th & 19th centuries with their bright brocade-like colours cheering up the long days of winter.
Carefully placed, quality table lamps can “make” a room with their ability to produce a pleasant level of mood lighting.
The Antique & Vintage Table Lamp Co specialise in antique table lamp lighting with an on-line range of over 100 unique, antique and vintage lamps on view.
