Counterpoint(large painting,abstract,blue,black) by Carolynne Coulson Acrylic on Canvas, 40.2 inch (102.0 cm) x 40.2 inch (102.0 cm) $957

If you’re a true devotee to all things Spring, then surely you’ve cleaned a closet or two since the season started this year. To take this idea a step further, if you’re a true devotee to seasonal closet cleaning, then surely you’ve heard of the Marie Kondo method of organizing called the KonMari Method™. And finally, if you’re a true devotee to the KonMari Method, then surely you understand the term ‘Spark Joy’. If you’re drawing a complete blank, according to www.konmari.com, The KonMari Method™ is widely regarded as a new approach to decluttering based on Japanese values in order to surround yourself with items that spark joy. It’s this idea of sparking joy that makes collecting art similar to cleaning your closet. The art you have in your home and the art you purchase should spark joy.

According to an interview with Marie Kondo, “The key to my approach is to keep only those things that spark joy and to discard the rest.” For those wondering what that means Kondo goes on to say, “The best way to identify what does or doesn’t bring you joy is to compare. In the beginning, unless your feelings are very black-and-white, it’s hard to decide if something brings joy when you look at 
it by itself. When you compare it with a bunch of other things, however, your feelings become clear.”
