Buying art
I was just at the housewarming party of ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
unblinkered and (I think) f3f4 where there was art by various people including psychochicken and sha_d. I came away having purchased a little piece that means absolutely nothing to anyone but me, and I include the artist in this (although it was her favourite of those pieces).
It's a little brooch with a soldier on a bicycle over a brocade background, with a bead hanging from it. When I look at it, it brings to my mind 'No Man's Land', the Eric Bogle song. I bet that nobody else would have that reaction, but this little thing makes me choke up to look at it. I had to have it.
It's now sitting in the brim of the top hat that rests on my computer monitor. I think that may be its proper place. I may even wear the hat with its brooch some time.
