Dentist

There's nothing more cringe worthy to me than fine art posters in waiting rooms and such that have faded into oblivion. Ahhhhhhk!

Kind of matches the naff chairs though......

Dentists make heaps of money, research finds that pictures of horses are very calming. Ideal for a dentists waiting room.....time for a sales pitch.

( I made the research bit up)

Get up there with a pencil and add a horse.

With a pochade box you could paint a horse in there.

Even the power sockets look horrified

I don't want to offend anyone but a recent research shows clearly medical doctors have a better taste for what concerns arts in general compared to dentists. I suggest an Hippotherapy twice a month for two years and a bath in museum at room temperature twice a week after eating life time!

Maybe I also made up something..

Can't think of a thing to add.

These comments are priceless. Lol!

Excellent! @Boudicca, about power sockets looking horrified.  Now I will always think of you every time I see one!

I'd rather look an art in a dentist than something else though.. so perhaps you shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth?

My dentist has put TV's in each room.  You can watch the TV, unless you are placed in a more "look-at- the-ceiling-position"; but for patients needing to be placed in those positions she has had color images rendered somehow onto the ceiling.  Unfortunately, I don't remember what I see on the ceiling because of the distraction of having her hand in my mouth, but occasionally, when my appointment has been scheduled for the right day, I can grunt back to the hygienist as we compete for best answers to the questions asked by Alex Trebec on Jeopardy.  Kind of fun.  And helps the appointment go faster. 

Still, there is a another medical center in my area that when it was first opened about 15 years ago, had placed on its walls lots of great art by present day working artists.  Great stuff, (not that I mind older stuff) but has been hanging there for so long, that they should probably replace it.  It would be nice to make double duty out of otherwise depressing spaces, and have some sort of open gallery, where new artist could constantly display their work on a rotating basis.  New and fresh art would liven the walls, I agree.  (And it might cheer up a couple of patients as well.)

No wonder Dentists are so "down-in-the-mouth". They need to brush-up on art appreciation and lower the shades.
