Does having paintings or other forms of visual art at home influence your energy?

Absolutely. I just added a picture in my bathroom a week ago and look at it probably every time I go in there. Another unique picture in that room I've had for months I still enjoy seeing as with a large picture set in my bedroom. I'll glance at it often. Probably part of it is they're more recent than others in the house, but I really enjoy seeing my especially nice pictures, plants and artwork and they have a positive energy.
