Original Art For All Seasons

This morning as I was perusing the latest Zatista original art, I encountered a painting that fit my mood perfectly:

All Wintered Up by Michael Bailey

There’s something about January that makes me want to hibernate until March, contemplating the stark realities of the New Year over endless cups of hot coffee. If “All Wintered Up” was on the wall above my desk, I think I’d feel more peaceful about this transitional time. However, it’s probable that I wouldn’t want “All Wintered Up” on my walls past March, so I’d likely replace it with a little optimism:

Where I live in San Francisco, spring rain is not just likely, it’s guaranteed. Clacking away on my keyboard, I think I’d find some hope and renewal in staring at the blues and greens of “Spring Rain.”

The delicate spring can only last for so long before I want to bask in the sun and enjoy my favorite time of year, the summer. So “Spring Rain” might join “All Wintered Up” in hibernation while I adorn my wall with yet another season.

This choice for summer might surprise you. For me, the mood of summer is independence and freedom, typified by the greatest holiday of the year: the Fourth of July. I can imagine “Independence Day” above my desk for the long summer months, inspiring me to do great things and enjoy the warmth of family and friends.

But summer always seems to end too quickly, leaving me contemplating fall and the transition into a quieter, more reflective time of the year. As you might imagine, San Francisco doesn’t offer much in the way of changing leaves. By hanging “Fall Leaves, Pond #2” above my desk, I would be reminded of the resplendent colors that start to appear in early September.

Maybe you prefer to hang your original art once, never moving it until it’s absolutely necessary. But consider this: you are a unique individual whose interests and desires change as the year progresses. Why not consider changing your art to match the seasons?

    I agree the first painting is a perfect fit for the mood of the season right now, but then I am the artis t so I am prejudiced a bit…
    This was a nice surprise to see a feature such as this, another reason I believe Zatista to be a perfect venue for artist’s to sell original works.
