Wants and Needs


Two artists, Christine and Justin, are very direct in what they want from their art. They litterally paint the exact object they want and sell it for the price tag. When they sell a painting they buy that specific item. They even have a website to prove that this is infact, where the money goes. They post a picture of the real object they have purchased and post it with the original painting. These paintings are so specific the price ranges are from only a few dollars to thousands at a time depending on their want or need.
I think this is extremely creative and a very fun way to make simple art more interesting. I also enjoy the fact that they make charitable use out of their services as well. One of their latest was a painting of "A Good Meal" which they sold for one hundred dollars to provide a less fortunate family with a good holiday meal.
