I’ve just repainted the living room and am in the process of putting paintings back up, but the thought occurred to me…is this odd or egoistic to hang up my own art? It’s a mixture of other artists and my own, but as I’m quite prolific it’s definitely skewed to my own, and paintings or other forms of art cover nearly every wall of the house (again this is a mixture between my own and others). It’s rather eclectic you might say. Or is this a normal thing artists do? I have ASD and am basically a recluse so this is more of a theoretical question I suppose, as almost no one comes over and it’s just me and my husband here. He doesn’t mind whatsoever. But if someone were to come over for whatever reason, I began to wonder how this appears. Personally I enjoy seeing it, it makes me feel cosy and it’s nice to be surrounded by what I’ve made in addition to the works of others, but I also understand that my way of thinking isn’t always exactly the norm. I have quite bad anxiety including social anxiety, so it’s highly likely that this is not even an issue.
The art itself is nothing terribly unusual, mostly nature-based as that is what I enjoy, and paintings/drawings of our pets, things like that.
