Such a grown up thing to do. Buy 'Art'.

Very nice. I remember buying my first expensive art print. It's a kitten sleeping in a bowl titled Very Still Life. I think I got it for half price at $175.00 years ago. I now have more, they seem to grow on you. Nice prints.

No reason at all to feel like a dork. Believe me, artists love it when people say things like that.
