Paintings, Artwork, Poster's let's hear it.

After spending a pro-longed "session" of music listening tonight, I was curious...what focal point do fellow users use when listening to music. Perhaps, people close their eyes; I don't. I have a nice James Lumber Gretzky painting hangin above my stereo, that I use.

Many times I've thought about hangin other art/paintings/posters. Perhaps a nice Jimmy Page, Kurt Cobain (too depressing though) or Janes Addiction as a focal point. I've never been into art that much, althought it would be nice to spruce the room up and use it as a focal point.

Let's hear what's hangin on your walls. I'll admitt, I like a few postings i've seen here with old jazz/blues players framed in black even thought Blues represnts 10% of what I listen to, it just brings it all home for me. That's where it all started for rock.

I have thought about this before, and tried a few things including:

signed limited edition Jimi Hendrix picture
a modern painting of the interior of Royal Albert Hall
posters of vintage covers from the "Absolute Sound"

All of these ideas can be nice to decorate your listening room or home theatre - if you like it and it brings you happiness, then it works.

in the end, however, I would rather stare at a fireplace, a soft light, the LED of a power amp, darkness or even a point in space to have the most transcendental listening experience.

Staring at Jimi Hendrix, when listening to say, choral music, might not enhance the experience.

I also enjoy staring at nudes while listening to music.
