I absolutely love original art. I try to buy it from local artists in places I’ve lived (New Zealand, Dallas, San Antonio) and places I’ve traveled to (Colorado and a few others). My favorite is a big and bright landscape by a Dallas artist! It hangs in my den and gets lots of compliments. It’s one of the first things you see when you walk into my house!
