I think Adam came up with the best term to describe this stuff: shart.

Is anyone else here a fan of Minerva Teichert? I am. One of my neighbors was the model for her Queen Ester painting and has stories. Sounds like Minerva was great lady.

I can't stand Kinkaide. (sp?)“There is a great deal of difference in believing something still, and believing it again.”

Why are you still at work? Get out of there and go to the stadium. The traffic is going to be killer. I use a secret way right by Philippe's. I never even get on the freeway.Fitter. Happier. More Productive.

I will cop to having a Greg Olsen in my home. It was actually expensive (compared to an 8 1/2" x 11" print that I've framed by myself) but I quite like it - there was a reason behind the choice.
Other than that one thing, I'm not much for the Church art stuff. I don't mind some of Liz Lemon Swindle's stuff and I would like Greg Olsen more if he didn't use the same palette for everything. But for the most part the art in my home is not church related.Awesomeness now has a name. Let me introduce myself.

I need to learn your secret way. I go through Chinatown.“There is a great deal of difference in believing something still, and believing it again.”

btw, here is a recent example of the J-Dubs co-opting our phraseology in an effort to be cooler. They never used to say "Heavenly Father." They always say, "Jehovah God."
On my mission in Spain, we saw quite a change in the way the JW men in Spain dressed when they went out to do their missionary work.
When I first arrived, they wore colored shirts, mostly pastels. Which were in vogue at the time in Spain. Generally, the men did not wear ties. A few months into my mission, they were all wearing ties.
By about a year into my mission, they started wearing only white shirts with ties. Sound familiar.
By the time I left, they were wearing white shirts, ties...and guess what? They were wearing name tags. Black ones. Lovely.

There is a large Minerva Teichert painting of Christ on a boat hanging above the fireplace in the foyer of my childhood ward. It's a beautiful painting, I need to try and get a print of it for my home someday."In conclusion, let me give a shout-out to dirty sex. What a great thing it is" - Northwestcoug
