I am going to buy my first piece of art. Its nothing huge- its just a small piece by a local artist. I saw her collection on show at the Alibi, a funky bar down the road from me. It was on the wall in the little end booth at the back of the bar where we were sitting and it just really caught my eye.

There was another painting on the other wall, which may have also been from her collection which I really hated. It looked like a horrible kids drawing and I was appalled that someone was trying to sell that piece of crap.

But this other piece, I just fell in love with straight away. Of course, art is subjective and although I didn't like that one piece, others really did. And I guess I don't know what she was thinking/feeling when she created that piece.

That's the painting I'm buying. I dont know why, I just love it. The colours are alot more vibrant and more red.. it seems pinkish in that pic. My phone doesn't have a great camera, and it was dark so it failed to capture the true colours. But trust me, it looks heaps better in person.

I'm not sure where i'm going to put it though. Every one of the hooks in this place are being used - John Lennon framed picture, Beatles framed picture, a couple of cool arty drawings Avid from LittleRocket.net drew of me years ago in my room (check out my favourite). A kitsch little Jesus SuperHero wind up figurine is hanging outside my room... I could probably pull it down and finally put it to rest and use that hook... or I could risk putting another hook in the wall. Damn rental places, I've been here for so long... I'm sure I'm going to lose a bunch of my bond because of dents and scratches in the walls from careless ex-flatmates. So what is one more hook?
