My Mother's Wall Art. ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜‡ She'll be pleased to read any comments left on this post.

in #photography โ€ข 6 years ago

My mother literally paints every inch of her house. Here are just a few snapshots of the inside of my parents massive 3 bedroom co-op. Every wall, furnishing, and window is art. If you stay there long enough, she might even paint YOU.

She's a Gemini like me, and I'm named after her. She's a passionate artist and creatively obsessive compulsive (in a wonderful way.) No blank space can go without ornamentation. This is her groove in the world.

The yarns and other dangled strings are for the cat- who is just visiting, so not usually there. The puzzles glued to the wall, collages, and paintings are all original works of hers. She agreed to let me take some pictures and share them with Steemit.

These paintings get removed and repainted constantly. So she's like a graffiti writer sometimes. I regret not taking pictures of older pieces and archiving them in some way.

Enjoy. Leave a comment so I can show her what the community says!

That's awesome! I've only been in one house like that! It had such a cool feel too it! Creativity in every room. It's like you just felt more laid back

Absolutely agree. My parents are hippies. I would expect nothing less than this from them except maybe a giant ganja leaf on the ceiling (there isn't one but there should be.)

Lol that's awesome!

Loving the way you support not only your mom's art itself but also her right to self-expression. Super-cool work, btw!! Hoping my daughter is as supportive of you as she grows. Let there be MORE ART and MORE ORIGINALITY and MORE CREATIVITY. Just do you!! Loved this post.

Thank you @artemislives Indeed, the world is too stiff sometimes about superficial things like homemaking. I think this is just incredible. And her house is superbly clean as well, this is all with purpose and on purpose. In her age she feels like letting go of all the shoulds and shouldn't. I don't blame her. I'm hoping to support her more as she changes her paintings. Thank you so much for leaving a comment!

I Like This Post. That's Very Amazing!

Thank you for your feedback @hiranur I too think it's amazing. I'm trying to show my mom not to be shy about it. She's very creative and her work is beautiful. :)
