Art! by Dan W Griffin

Much as in the same way a man is inspired to eat a yoghurt because it is in the fridge, so I was inspired to take-up painting after gate-crashing another artist's private view.
I had gotten rather drunk on free booze and wandered around using the word 'juxtaposition' far too frequently.  I then saw a canvas splashed with a couple of pigments of oil and after laughing myself silly because it was priced at over a grand I thought aloud, 'I could do that!'  I was then politely ejected from the show.

The following morning I awoke feeling a little ill, but I recalled the previous evening's show and how I had thought, 'I could do that!'  I then remembered how, after my ejection from the show I had met a girl in a bar who would later describe me as rather irritating and crass.  I put that out of my mind, and wandered instead to an art shop.
My first piece was the image displayed above, a piece I rather unimaginatively titled 'Blue' because I couldn't think of anything else.
I am immensely proud of it and it hangs in my living room above 'Lava', an image of which is displayed to the right.

I have a keen interest in modern, abstract and impressionist art, and since I cannot afford a Van Gogh or a Mondrian of my own I paint each of my canvases with the single objective that I must be able to enjoy them myself.
It is arguably-evident I do not paint to be appreciated by 'the art world', but I believe it is entirely the prerogative of the individual whether they see any merit in my work.
