Our girls provide all of the original artwork in our home. Would love to have something a little more “professional” though! :)

My favorite piece of art is a pointillism of a hockey goalie I did in high school art class. It took me a few months, but it turned out great and is now hung in my son’s bedroom.

My favorite piece of art is our “Wedding Tree” that was painted on a canvas by my best friend’s sister (she’s amazing!) and then used as a guestbook for wedding this past March… we absolutely LOVE how it turned out!
Sarah says

Jenna O. says
PAINT ME A PICTURE!
I don’t have any “original” pieces of art hanging in my home. However, I do have a painting hanging in my living room that was given to me by my grandmother. It’s an abstract piece with lots of bold, bright colors. I couldn’t even tell you who painted it. But it holds much more sentimental value to me because it is the one thing I got from her that I can pass onto my children.
Kristin says
Paint Me A Picture!
I love that my mom still has artwork that my brother and I did as children :-)
Robin says
PAINT ME A PICTURE….
My favorite piece is by my friend’s grandfather. He painted a memory he had of the Polish circus. It’s pink and orange and shows horses in the ring.
Susan says

My favorite painting is one that we received as a wedding gift. It’s a painting of the Annapolis waterfront, which is where my husband proposed to me. It’s so nice to look at that painting and have so many memories come rushing back.

My favorite painting is a watercolor of my two dogs given to me as a birthday gift by my boyfriend. My fur kids have a giant spot in my heart and now they have a spot on the wall!
Jeni says
“PAINT ME A PICTURE!” My favorite original art piece is the profile drawing of me that a high school classmate did in art class 20 years ago. She whipped it up all professional like in 5 minutes while I spent the entire class trying to make something resembling her. :)
Catherine says
PAINT ME A PICTURE!
I doubt they’re one of a kind, but I love this set of four prints I found at a local consignment shop. They’re vintage Cadillac prints, and even I think that sounds so cheesy when I say it, but they’re actually really cool. The colors are beautiful and the cars are from the early 1900’s, so they’re interesting to look at too. I can’t find any pics of the ones we have, but this one is probably from the same series:
