Bridges: UGLY/Beautiful

Our modernized world comes with certain trade-offs. Everywhere you turn, huge objects built for our convenience dot the landscape and obscure the sky. Often, these objects seem to be an insult to our natural world, but upon closer inspection , one can discover aesthetic beauty in their structure and comfort in their familiarity.

the price of art

So I started a "discussion" about the price of art and the difficulty of pricing artwork for artists. . . please participate in this discussion as I am very curious to know how others feel about this, just click the discussions tab at Vibrant Art Studios :)
