Art For Art's Sake

Leroy,

Art for Art's sake?   Such a thing probably exists.

Somewhere.

Oil on loose canvas.  18 by 24 inches

I have no intention of stretching it. 
It will be hung similar to a scroll painting.
 

Generally, if someone can imagine something, then it can be created - with a lot of effort usually.  (It's easier create an image if one has access to someone who has already done it.)

However......

Most of what I have seen is art serving a purpose.  A protest, a contemplation, a meditation, or a bit of escapism, the list of purposes is endless.

Oil on treated paper 9 by 12 inches

This painting will be mounted and framed, eventually.

I don't have a cause to champion.  I am certainly not protesting through my art.  There are spiritual elements present, which apparently is more common among painters than I realised.

So I am offering a glimpse into my soul.  It is not a particularly nice soul; but, it is the only one I have. 

Looking forward to more of these discussions.
