Art You Can Afford, Critique, or Spill Coffee On (Navigating a Positive Day)

 

Omar realizes
that if his art
is going to sell
it has to be unique in 
some way.
Stick figures might
not sell well.

Another art piece has emerged from the gallery and is now available for the modest sum of $40 on Etsy—or a bargain-basement $35 if you message me directly or use PayPal. As we all know, art is never really worth anything until it suddenly is, which explains why most artists are poor and most people who buy and sell art are mysteriously very confident.

This piece could make a wonderful gift for a relative you don’t particularly care for, or it might serve beautifully as a coffee coaster with an attitude. Either way, it’s versatile and it might resonate with you.

You might also choose to reflect on the brightness of each moment and ponder the navigation of a positive day (I thought that would appeal to the people who like good kharma, do yoga and buy art.). I realize that sounds like an in-depth critical analysis of what is, at its core, a time-based doodle. But if you’re seeking profound insight, consider this: if you wake up each day and think one positive thought—about yourself, the people around you, or something you appreciate—it tends to set the tone for everything that follows.

And while I don’t sell much art, here and there I’m grateful for the people who pause, smirk just a little, and briefly imagine taking this masterpiece home—placing it squarely in the living room where all guests are forced to admire it. A shining example of impressionist art that only those who “get Picasso” will truly understand the likeness.

Ha! 😄
