Last week I went to the annual poster sale at a neighbouring university. Usually I am drawn by the posters of television shows that I enjoy, bands that I like, and inspirational quotes that I appreciate. This year was different. I was absolutely taken by three prints of vintage art; so much so that I went back a few days later and purchased them. They are all photographs by an artist named Mandy Lynne.
I purchased:
Enjoy the Journey
Sealed with a Kiss
Blooming Books
The exciting part of this purchase is that I can cross "Buy Art" off of my bucket list. I think I am now one step closer to becoming not only an adult, but the adult I want to become. I have my first set of art, and though I may still have a Captain America Poster above my bed, I am enjoying this transitioning stage of my life, and I'm actually looking forward to the day when I retire the Captain. So why did I buy art? Well, ars gratia artis, which is latin for "Art for the sake of Art". It is not necessarily symbolic for me, nor do I know the artist, but I bought art that was made for the sake of art. I'm very excited to frame this checkmark on my bucket list.
