    As art goes, painting is a cornerstone. It's as old as the human need to be occupied and to change their environment to suit them.

    This piece is called Royal Chevy (thought it's clearly a motorcycle, long story). I have looked at this several times since the 80s. It's mesmerizing.
    And it looks like it was made with software that didn't exist then. This came around the time Radio Shack was selling their first computers.

      I like both of the two paintings for different reasons. The first one is completely not my style but I appreciate the very good techniques in it. The second one has more emotion and I like the colours..

        So true. The second one puts you in a real place. The first looks like a reflection from a mylar balloon and yet, it demonstrates so much. That's the cool thing about art, there is no established purpose or method. It just happens.

          How would you define "art"? Here is a question.

              I don't bother with defining art. If you think about it, everything a human makes beyond leaf bedding, is art.

                Personally I would define art as Having no other practical purpose than to please the senses !

                  Which is why food can be experienced as art, only it doesn't last. Fireworks are the same way!

                    What about the mind? Is art only for the senses?

                    I totally get the food thing. I am currently enjoying a small heap of clotted cream with a bit of Nutella in it. Mmmmmmmmm!!!

                      the senses are controlled by the mind (or your brain anyway )

                        So art is meant to please the mind and then in its turn, the mind gives signal to the senses and we experience "liking" art. So the more it stirs in me, the more I "like" it..

                        Like this for example

                          Oh man, I'm a huge Floyd fan. Saw them in November 1987 on my 19th birthday! And yes, I was damned stirred.

                            Oh shit you are so lucky! I was still split in two bodies in 1987.. :-( We need a time machine!
