    BILL CLINTON
    February 12, 1999 - U.S.A.

    The five-week period during which Bill Clinton was being tried had ended on this day. The Senate voted to acquit Clinton on charges of perjury and obstruction of justice. The trial was set in order to determine whether or not President Clinton would be impeached. Before the beginning of the trial, a lawsuit was filed by Paula Jones against the president on the account of sexual harassment charges. During this process, she had subpoenaed Monica Lewinsky, who had an affair with Bill Clinton over the period of a year and a half. Later Clinton had denied having sexual relations with Monica Lewinsky, but had admitted that the relationship was "inappropriate." Over time, it was clear that the affair had taken place, and the president had approved up to three articles of impeachment. However, he was determined to be "not guilty" on other charges, such as lying under oath and obstruction of justice.

  • A Change is Gonna Come
    by Meredith Grey

    "...Change; we don't like it, we fear it, but we can't stop it from coming. We either adapt to change, or we get left behind. It hurts to grow, anybody who tells you it doesn't is lying. But here's the truth: Sometimes the more things change, the more they stay the same. And sometimes, oh, sometimes change is good. Sometimes change is everything...."

Contemporary canvas art can be intelligently teamed with your decor and furniture to add life to your dull and bland rooms. Bare walls may wear a boring look. Instead, the right kind of painting or art piece can really make things look urbane, inspiring, visually appealing and even morale-boosting. But choosing any art work may not go well with your furnishing and general decor style. It is important to invest in the right kind of modern abstract art paintings.

The first step towards this direction is to get your colors right. Ideally, you may settle for one neutral color and one bold color. For instance, if your wall color is neutral or light, it is likely to look excellent with an art object of bold color.

In this regard, you should note that every room style will be different. You do not necessarily have to limit your color coordination to just two or three colors. You are free to play with multiple colors, provided they fit into your room and with your furnishing.

Spacing your modern abstract artworks should also be done intellectually. You can buy a painting in any size you desire. The empty space can be filled with more paintings so that your wall is actually a cluster of different but coherent hand-painted art paintings. Alternately, you may choose to buy a larger painting and put the entire focus over the single piece of art. Cramping should be avoided unless it works with you. Also, try to install special focus lights in order to throw light on the art piece.

If you are settling for multiple paintings or modern wall art sculptures, do not make a potpourri of multiple themes. For instance, a mixture of portrait, landscape and abstract painting is not usually preferable. It is ideal to hand a set of portraits or a set of landscape and seascapes or a set of abstract artworks.

Though, these are the universally applicable rules for decorative art paintings, you should never stick to any rule or mantra unless you can relate to it. Every individual is different and has an individualistic taste. You need to be true to yourself and rely on your instincts and your sense of judgment more than anything else.

Modern abstract art paintings offer you an array of art pieces and paintings to choose from. With time, you will learn to create magic out of them into your humble little space.
