Check out this great article about buying original art
Our art collection is on a shoestring budget...

Do you collect art?
Have a great weekend!

having original art in your home is so special, i think! i love the one above the mantle most- SO pretty and colorful!
Hi Charmaine! We love original art, and being a family of artists, we are sort of snobbish about reproductions! I wish I could afford to collect some big names, but Im happy with finding artists locally that I can afford. I love your collection. Have a great weekend!

Just starting, don't know much about whats valuable or not, I just started buying what I really like, I think that's a good start to collecting and choosing art don't you think?:-)
We're on the same thread. I just got a big painting at GW today and I bought it because I liked it and when I researched the artist it turns out he was a mid-century painter whose work is collectible. So cool!
I love beautiful art! Will you share which artist did the piece above your mantel? Great collection :).
Morgan, It's by a sculptor - Gary John Gresl and is part of the gestural series.
