My favorite piece of art is an original watercolor of the St. Louis Cathedral in New Orleans. My aunt bought it from a street artist in Jackson Square and had it framed as a wedding gift for me and my husband. We were going to be living in
New Orleans once we were married and she wanted us to have a taste of the local art. 6 months after our wedding she passed away suddenly. The painting is a constant reminder of her joyous, special and creative personality and I love have a little piece of her in our home.

“PAINT ME A PICTURE!” Right now my fave piece of art is hanging on the door from the garage to the kitchen. A “Happy Birthday” sign handmade by my 2 sons. After an 11-hour day at work yesterday, it was the best thing to come home to.
Melissa says
Paint ME a picture!
My husband and I created some homemade art using a couple canvas boards, some painter tape and leftover paint from throughout our house… cheap and a good way to tie some of the colors of our house together!

PAINT ME A PICTURE
A vintage mirror with some pretty ugly greens, browns and yellows. On it are two owls sitting on a branch and one hanging upside down. Above them it reads, “Nobody’s Perfect!” It is not the prettiest piece of work but for some reason I love it.

My favorite piece of artwork at the moment is something I ordered from Etsy with paper coils on canvas. It looks great in my master bathroom!
Melanie says

I can’t say that we own any one-of-a-kind art. It’s something that I would love to own, but other things always seem to come first in the budget. One day!

We sponsor a 9-year-old girl in Guatemala to allow her to go to school. Recently she gave us a picture she drew of her family with 2 angels flying overhead. Then she told us that we were the angels. Tear.

Stephanie says
PAINT ME A PICTURE!
My current favorite is a series of framed peices of art that my daughter created for her birthday. She used magic markers to wish me a happy birthday by writing words on each page and adding pictures. I framed each sheet of paper and hung them in a grouping. All hung together they create a special message from my girl to me!
mary says
Paint me a picture! I have a lovely black and white landscape etching done by Brenda Singletary dated 2000. We bought it at a charity art auction in 2001…we really didn’t have the money to be bidding on anything! But I’m so glad we did.

My favourite picture is one that my boyfriend commissioned for my birthday a few years ago. It’s painted from a photograph of me walking along a seaside promenade as the sun is setting. It’s not only a beautiful picture, but it’s a wonderful memory that I can think of whenever I look at the painting.
Jessica says

My husband and I actually only own 1 piece of original art work and it’s a Dracula Owl on a tiny block of wood. You see we love art work but we can never afford to buy it. It’s something that we hope we are able to do someday when we have enough money. Even though the Dracula Owl is out only piece we do love it and it was a big deal when we purchased it.
Desiree says
PAINT ME A PICTURE!!!! My favorite piece of art BY FAR is the series of 3 paintings my best friend gave me for my birthday a few years ago (even though I requested it TEN years ago when he was a student at Pratt, and had plenty of time and access to free supplies …. but it was worth the wait!!).

PAINT ME A PICTURE! I bought an 8×10 original piece of art from 20×200 (a great place to shop! – http://www.20×200.com) of a naked man eating a hot dog at a hotdog stand. Sounds gross, but it doesn’t show anything obscene…and its so creatively done its actually in our kitchen!

I’ve got an oil painting of woods during spring time by a local artist that I can stare at for hours.

My favorite painting is an old oil painting of the streets of Paris during a rainstorm. It is blue, grey, green, and gorgeous. My husband took the painting from someone who was throwing it away years ago and now it hangs in our bedroom.

Right now, my favorite piece of original artwork is a copper sculpture of a branch of maple leaves by Stan Dinwoodie. The different leaves have been treated with different patinas, so there is a riot of red, orange, gold and even a little green. It is stunning. It was left to me by my grandfather, along with a grandfather clock he made (which is also a piece of art.)
Cindy says
PAINT ME A PICTURE! My favorite (for right now) is a large painting I found at a yard sale for $1. It’s in an awesome old frame as well!

My favorite piece of artwork is one my friend did for me for my birthday in college. She asked for a picture of my dad that I loved (he passed away when I was younger) and I picked one of him and I from him hugging me on my first day of school. She did an amazing job and I seriously cherish it more than I think she will ever know.

Just getting into the crafty side of things. But my current favorite is pictures of the sky that I took and framed to cover an ugly fuse box in our hallway:)

PAINT ME A PICTURE! My favorite piece of art is a necklace my husband (local jeweler) made and I would love a picture of it to hang in his new office as a “office warming” gift! He would be so surprised!
