My favorite artwork is not technically one-of-a-kind, but its subject is! It’s an adorable photo of my niece, hamming it up for the camera in a floppy hat and missing her two front teeth. It always makes me smile.

My husband took photos on a recent trip to Zion National Park using his iPhone using Hipstamatic and they turned out beautifully, so I framed them and hung them on the wall.

Crystal says
“PAINT ME A PICTURE!”
My current favorite is one I did this year of a night time landscape- I just felt like painting and hadn’t done so in at least 5 or so years. Surprisingly, I really like how it turned out and I usually hate my own work! My other fav is my little boy’s 10 foot tall volcano painting. It makes me smile every time. I hope I win ;)

Paint me a picture!!!
My fave artwork is a huge piece my now-husband, then-boyfriend painted of my name for my college graduation gift. He’s a graffiti artist & it warms my heart to picture him outside whipping around cans of spray paint thinking of me…

“PAINT ME A PICTURE!”
My favorite artwork is a board filled with all the babies in my life.
Catherine says
paint me a picture!!
my favorite piece of art is something i did for a college drawing class – it’s a triptych of embroidered portraits, approximately 24×36 on linen fabric in cream and tan, and they’re backlit by lights. i need to re-mount the portraits, because i was in a hurry to make the deadline for the project and was a little sloppy. but yeah, the portraits are of me, my husband and my daughter, and i am so dang proud of them.

Nathalie says
PAINT ME A PICTURE!
Thinking about it, I have just realized that there’s not one piece of art displayed in my house! Craft-art-stuff, yes, but no paintings/ drawings at all!? Must remedy that situation.
The one piece of art I love belongs to my grandparents; it’s a still life in oil that a family friend painted for them as a wedding gift.
Stefanie says

My boyfriend and I actually just commissioned paintings of our 2 dogs and 1 cat. I would love a piece of non pet art to hang as well. I already have a spot all picked out. Pick me, please pick me! =0)

PAINT ME A PICTURE!
I love the “paw painting” done by my puppy two years ago. This lady was running a booth at the Redwood City Pet Parade and she dipped Grover’s paws in different colored non toxic paints and let him run around on canvas. It’s pretty great :)
Brenda D-B says
PAINT ME A PICTURE!
Our favorite one of a kind artwork was inspired by your post about Jen Woodhouse in August. The inspiration was her City Chic Artwork – three self-created prints that list street names and landmarks of special cities in a creative way. As a wedding gift to my new husband, I used the same idea and listed special dates, places or phrases that have special meaning to us. It is the center piece on one wall (in the same 11.75″ x 36″ frames that Jen used). We plan to surround it with four 16″ x 20″ frames that include our self-written vows in two and two wedding portraits. The perfect above-the-bed piece!

I have a plate I did featuring lemurs that is pretty quirky which I love….a form of art, so to speak. I have it on a small easel in our kitchen.
Chelley Black says

My favorite picture is a photo that I took of my husband and baby daughter when she was just a few weeks old. It’s very artsy looking. I had it printed in a 16×20 in a sepia tone. Beautiful!

Paint me a picture. We have a place in Colorado. One of our dear friends spent some time in the area painting water colors. We bought a bunch of her prints for our house. They are amazing and remind us of a place we love.
Amy Larsen says

My favorite piece of art in our house right now was a wedding gift from our best friends – it’s a sculpted tree plaque, modeled after our Save the Date design, and engraved with our names and wedding date. So beautiful, and incredibly touching! It’s the first thing you see in our hallway!

A conch shell we bought from the “Conch Man” in the Caribbean–fresh off the fishing boat–that I cleaned and polished and use to decorate a side table.

I love bright colors! Usually if its bright I like it
Jenna SD says
PAINT ME A PICTURE!
I have been carrying an acrylic on canvas painting with me since high school and it’s one I painted. I have a love/hate relationship with it – it’s bright and colorful, but my techniques are sub-par. I’m tired of looking at it… However, I’m proud to have painted SOMETHING so I keep moving it with me and putting it up in every new home of mine.
Kelly D says
PAINT ME A PICTURE! My step-sister, her boyfriend and my step-brother made us a ‘photo word’ that spells welcome for a wedding gift. They were very creative and photographed various household items for each letter. (used a garden hose to create an E). It’s so sentimental and they spent so much time creating it. We love it!
Leigh says

In collage I did three little canvas of a shooting star. I loved it, but it doesn’t work so much in our house now.

Jessica says
Paint me a picture…
A friend of mine painted a mixed media piece for me in memory of my late brother. It is such a precious piece of her heart representing a piece of mine.
