Cardinals II by Anita Phillips isn't just a terrific painting of winter Cardinals, but the birds on their snowy branches are framed by snow topped winter berries too. Very clever!

Featured Art Print: First Swim by Paul Brent

noreply@blogger.com (Kristen) — Wed, 30 Apr 2008 19:49:00 +0000

This adorable watercolor depicts baby sea turtles out for their first swim since hatching. Nothing cuter than baby sea turtles, and I love the depths of water done in different colors - nice effect.

noreply@blogger.com (Kristen) — Fri, 18 Apr 2008 21:35:00 +0000

Whimsical Cat Angels by Karyn Lewis just made me smile - two cat angels swooping around a circular rainbow in the skies. The artist also has other works that are oriented towards kids and make great wall decorations in a child's room.

Featured Art Print: Green Dottles by Lekker Designs

noreply@blogger.com (Kristen) — Fri, 04 Apr 2008 18:56:00 +0000

Green Dottles in the Lekker Designs Gallery is clean and modern, draws the eyes in and gives the mind a circular flow to relax into. It's almost like it's own abstract bubble mosaic!

Featured Art Print: Foggy Reflections 711 by Kent Lorentzen

noreply@blogger.com (Kristen) — Mon, 24 Mar 2008 23:40:00 +0000

Foggy Reflections 711 by Kent Lorentzen almost looks like an abstract painting you make by putting paint on paper and folding it in half. And I love the variety of types and angles of the trees in this photograph.

The artist's description of the photo: "Still water shows a reflection of trees on the far bank of the Mississippi river as fog floats above the water with a patch of weeds showing by the near bank as dawn breaks on a August morning in north central Minnesota. "

Featured Art Print: Hill Chain by Prentice

noreply@blogger.com (Kristen) — Fri, 07 Mar 2008 01:57:00 +0000

Hill Chain by Prentice is an abstract landscape of light and shadow passing overland, in simple yellows, blues, and greens. I can feel the shaft of light coming down in the middle as if bursting through disappearing clouds.

Featured Art Print: Raven Goddess by Mary Ogle

noreply@blogger.com (Kristen) — Wed, 27 Feb 2008 19:27:00 +0000

I've been a fan of artist Mary Ogle's (of evision Arts) work for a long time, so I'm very happy to feature her Raven Goddess piece here! To me it seems like the Raven is standing guard over the goddess while she works magic of serious intensity, while dragonflies flit around, curious as ever at the gathering energy.

Featured Art Print: Apfel By Panasenko

noreply@blogger.com (Kristen) — Fri, 25 Jan 2008 22:05:00 +0000

Bright green Granny Smith apples are my favorite kind of apple. I eat them straight and also love to use their tart, juicy tang in apple pies - works well with cinnamon! Apfel by Panasenko captures the greenness of the apple with the contrasty inside. Not your everyday ordinary red apple is this!

If you like this, there are three more pieces in this series too:

Featured Art Print: Bistro by Jennifer Brinley

noreply@blogger.com (Kristen) — Tue, 08 Jan 2008 03:09:00 +0000

Bistro by Jennifer Brinley caught my eye as one of the most colorful and cheerful sidewalk bistro paintings I've ever seen! I dare you to look at this and NOT feel chipper.

Picture it on your kitchen wall or on the wall down the hall that needs a little life - the colors! Click here to buy this print, framed or unframed. Also check out her entire collection here, which has a few series that would look great as a set - bistros, flowers, wines, and more.

noreply@blogger.com (Kristen) — Tue, 11 Dec 2007 18:43:00 +0000

The unusually tall shape of this print helps express the liquid silvery feel of the moon and the water - makes it seem like an unbroken unit. This is called Full Moon Sea by Stephen Rutherford-Bate, and will add a touch of thoughtfulness to any wall!

Featured Art Print: Sea Blue Prosperity

noreply@blogger.com (Kristen) — Fri, 07 Dec 2007 22:11:00 +0000

Sea Blue Prosperity reminds me of the spirit of the holidays - generosity and abundance- in all the different ways those two concepts can manifest themselves. And you can get this print, unframed, for only $16 (plus tax and shipping), so it's a lovely wish to give someone this season, or to share in your own home. Something like this would probably make a pretty cool house warming present (I know a number of people who are moving into new houses this month, so I have that fresh in my mind - LOL.)

Featured Art Print: Angels by Raphael

noreply@blogger.com (Kristen) — Sat, 01 Dec 2007 21:13:00 +0000

noreply@blogger.com (Kristen) — Wed, 28 Nov 2007 20:45:00 +0000

Snow Flurry by G Russell Case is such a wonderful winter wonderland landscape! Excellent soft colors mix with leafless branches of young trees in the foreground with pale purplish mountains in the background. Ahhh.

noreply@blogger.com (Kristen) — Sun, 25 Nov 2007 16:41:00 +0000

Neige En Ville by Bernard Seguin-Poirier shows an abstract and colorful snowy night scene... I just love the feel of the snow blowing around and the hint of people bundled in winter clothes in a snowy city scene.

Featured Art Print: Santa Claus is Coming! by Thomas Worth

noreply@blogger.com (Kristen) — Fri, 23 Nov 2007 17:43:00 +0000

Thanksgiving is now over and the Christmas season is officialy here, so we're featuring holiday art! Santa Claus is Coming! by Thomas Worth is a combination of Charles Dickens, old Father Christmas, with perhaps a little tinge of Hogsmeade or Bree for flavor. Bells being rung, reindeer coming in to land with much steam and scattering of snow, at night... really captures some of the original mystery of Santa Claus!

Featured Art Print: Wine Medley I by Degrazio

noreply@blogger.com (Kristen) — Mon, 19 Nov 2007 17:02:00 +0000

What a unique way to show off bottles of wine by featuring them from the neck up - hinting at a diverse collection of tastes! Wine Medley I by Degrazio reminds me of browsing through a wine shop with all the different choices and the sound of full bottles of wine clunking together - excellent.

Featured Art Print: Road To Enlightenment by Thomas Barbey

noreply@blogger.com (Kristen) — Sat, 17 Nov 2007 17:51:00 +0000

Road To Enlightenment by Thomas Barbey made me do a double take. At first I thought it was just a cool perspective on a lighthouse, but then I remembered it was in the SURREAL category and looked closer... those are actually PEOPLE walking along the railings - a whole city surrounds this lighthouse - very cool!

Featured Art Print: American Bread by Joe Ortiz

noreply@blogger.com (Kristen) — Thu, 15 Nov 2007 18:29:00 +0000

Can't you just picture this hanging on a wall in your kitchen or dining room? I can actually smell the fresh baked bread now - mmmmm. Terrific for those who are famous for their homemade bread or for those who just like to eat it!

This particular piece of art is Half Dome, Merced River, Winter.

Featured Art Print: Blue Morning Glories by Georgia O'Keeffe

noreply@blogger.com (Kristen) — Sun, 11 Nov 2007 18:40:00 +0000

Georgia O'Keeffe is one of those artist names that people know and their ears perk up when they hear it. Her paintings are definitely of her own unique style but have subjects that are easy to relate to, wonderful colors, and a sense of abstraction in tone. Blue Morning Glories is startling and colorful and dramatic, and really catches my eye!

You can buy this fine art print unframed, or create your own frame and mat combo - I selected the dark blue mat and silver frame above as an example. Just click the image to buy the print.

noreply@blogger.com (Kristen) — Sat, 10 Nov 2007 07:46:00 +0000

Tranquility I (Gold) by Barbara Psimas is perfectly named. Three peaceful koi fish waving through their pond, done in serene tans and black. With a cream mat and black frame this print really pops! (Click to purchase this fine art print or to see it with different framing options.)
