(And yes, if you know me in real life you know that I need more help than blogger friends can help me with. Hardy har har.)
I have a large gallery wall in my hall and a few empty frames. Yes I know that art is supposed to be meaningful and gathered over time, BUT I'm looking for a few fun and colorful prints to add to the collection.
I've found a few front runners so far, but there are MILLIONS out there and I can't possibly find them all myself. So I'm cheating and asking my super smart readers for your favorite Etsy sellers (or non Etsy sellers) of fun, inexpensive, color filled, art.
Did you read that part about inexpensive? I'm not Mama Warbucks.
Ok, so far these are the front runners:
a custom Massachusetts map from Etsy seller LilyGene
the beautiful LOVE poster from the awesome Jen from MadeByGirl
cutie Mr. Elephant from Etsy seller berkleyillustration
Although, I already have the most amazing elephant on the wall from the sweet and super talented Patricia from PVE, so I'm thinking it should stay special and be the only one.
I grew up spending my summers in Maine and I love this Maine Harbor print from the Etsy seller betsymclellan
So that's all I have. This is where you people come in. Help a girl out.
Who are your favorite Etsy (or non Etsy) artists out there?
Have you purchased any meaningful art lately and if so where?
PS- thanks in advance everyone!

My boyfriend is obsessed with those Berkley illustrations. In fact, I think they were the one thing he insisted we buy when we moved in together. Who knew he shopped Etsy?

Thanks for the shout out friend. I think art is so personal. I love "Our Humble Abowed" - she made the most clever artwork for me....which I will share in a few weeks on the wall.
There are so many artworks on etsy that I adore.
I also love collections. You will show us your wall - won't you?

Sorry, that's a lot, but there might be something perfect for you. :)
I totally think I can talk Jon into sending you a custom piece. You know he hearts you! Give us a snapshot of the gallery wall so I know what colors would work or just email. I could have him start this weekend!
Or let me know if you like anything here: http://www.etsy.com/people/himherabstractart?ref=si_pr
A non Etsy seller is Abbey Ryan on Painting a Day on ebay. She is the most amazing artist, but most artist are amazing in general but she is gifted. Please check her out.
Hi there,
I've been doing a series called "Art You can Afford" on my blog, rounding up some favorites from different sites that offer limited editions. In fact, just did a round up today from Art We Love. Check it out heatherpetersondesign.com with the whole series under the "series" tab.
Good luck!
Heather
Betsy McLellan is my fiance's cousin. I love all of her prints and her original paintings! I think all of your options are great but I definitely like hers the best. I may be biased but I think she does a great job of capturing the mood of the scene and I love her color choices. Good luck with your decision!
Camila, you are too sweet! You tell that husband of your to get working on some art to sell so he can make you money and you can come to Boston to visit! Well, when the baby is born of course, I need to meet Jon and the babes SOON!
Hi Lindsay! Check out Vanity Fair and other Conde Nast prints http://www.condenaststore.com/
Mr. Elephant is awesome! I haven't purchased any art in a while, but was recently gifted one of my mother's pieces which is very dear to my heart because it is based on a lullaby my grandmother sung to me when I was little. I am a little biased, but I think her work is amazing and insightful (http://punderwood.com/index.html).
Email me, Ill send you a print! ;)
How about free? I have a few of my favorite sayings as freebie downloads on my blog. Even if its just temporary, hope it helps.
