For my 21st I got a painting (which I will post a picture of soon). It's a still life of some purple grapes against a grey/black background. I am very picky with art especially when I am going to be looking at it everyday and usually I wouldnt like that style...a painting of an onion on a plate is not what I call art! But I love my painting and now I no longer see a still life painting as just some fruit on a plate. My sister has become somewhat of an art collector and casually bought this painting the other day. For every Christmas and birthday she now demands I make her something...she is going to need bigger walls as I'm sure she doesnt have much wall space left!
