My favorite original art piece is a painting my son made me when he was 3. I framed it and hung it in my master bedroom where I can see it every day. He is 13 now. Wow, time sure flies!

“Paint me a picture!”
My favorite piece of art that I currently own would have to be a photo my mom gave me of a gerber daisy. Not only is it my favorite flower, but it was my wedding flowers and they hold a lot of significance.

My favorite piece of one-of-a-kind art work is a photo of my brother. It was created from a photograph my mom took before he passed away. The artist’s name is Lori Snow Hein, and she has illustrated several children’s books.
Jessica says

I have a couple of paintings a friend of mine painted for me. My favorite is one she did for my HS graduation gift. It is a view of the sky looking up from the ground through the tops of trees. I love it.

My sister is currently an art student and she painted my husband and I a beautiful forrest scene for our wedding gift. I would love to have more personalized art!
Anna says
PAINT ME A PICTURE!
My favorite piece of original artwork I own is a photo I took in Hawaii right along the beach during sunset. I have it blown up into a 20×24 right by my desk at work. All it takes is one glance at the photo and all of my stress melts away. :)
Jyl says
PAINT ME A PICTURE! Please? My favorite artwork right now is a bundle of 1,000 paper cranes I folded out of brightly colored patterned origami paper for my husband’s aunt while she was undergoing treatment for lung cancer. She recently passed away, but somehow looking at them reminds me of the happy nuances of who she was. I like keeping them around because as I folded them I thought of her recovery or said a prayer. I like to think those happy vibes are still within them. Right now they’re strung up and hanging on a wreath holder, but I plan on either gluing them to a big square canvas or hanging them in some cat-friendly manner :)

I absolutely love art… I spend hours looking through etsy to not only marvel at all the talent but also to get inspired. 20×200 is fun too. My daughter and I love to dabble in acrylics… she has done some amazing pieces. I have to say my favorite is a triptych I did on canvas of a bird on a branch… it was a quick fix solution to fill a void over my couch.
Laura B. says

An artist friend of mine made me a print for my college graduation present..I’m obsessed with it!
Allyce says

My favorite art in my house right now is a picture collage that we just started. Right now, there are photographs from the San Antonio Missions that my husband took and photographs of scenery of the city where my husband and I met and fell in love that my friend took. Some are black and white and some are color and I just love it!
Kelly says

My favorite custom art is a tie between an awesome piece by Youngna Park (picked up at 20×200) and a framed photo strip of me and mine at a wedding a few years back.
eva says

My favorite piece I bought from a local artist. It’s a weird little painting of possessed chicken legs looking at a guy in a chicken suit while they are saying “one of us.” It’s a funny painting and makes me laugh when I see it.
trish little says
My favorite painting is an abstract painting of a parisian cafe…from my hub for our anniversary.

Leah says

Hmm… don’t have much one-of-a-kind artwork. I guess the only thing is a collage frame that I filled with random bits of colored paper and texture that I put in front of a colored board.
Katie Newcomb says
PAINT ME A PICTURE!My favorite piece of art are three pictures my husband and I took from Europe… a friend photoshopped the colors to match our room and framed them!

Original art my kids made into Christmas ornaments. Yes, I put my trees up a week early to enjoy just a little bit longer this year. Who knew hands and feet could be so many things at Christmas.
Rhonda says

My favorite piece of art is a drawing by my 7 year old son. It is a family portrait that shows each of our personalities including the dogs. It makes me laugh each time i look at it.

PAINT ME A PICTURE, but it will never replace the rainbow over a pot of gold watercoler done by my daughter when she was 5.

Paint me a Picture! My current fav is a large painting of a red gerbera daisy. It’s bold color and wraps around the canvas, and something my mom commissioned for me. LOVE.
Tania says

I love the picture of a sunflower my daughter painted when she was 8. It should be hung in a museum. It has the loveliest combination of blue, red and yellow.

Paint me a picture! I have a New Years tradition of making a photo collage of all the major events (& some not so major) that happened in the previous year. Everyone looks forward to the day when the new collage goes up in the house. It’s definitely my favorite piece of “art”
Stacey says

My fave artwork in my house are a couple of origanals a friend of mine, who is an amazing artist, made. When I bought my first house she picked out a few that matched my paint and style. But I am moving again and could use some nice new stuff too!
Megan B. says

So far my favorite piece is a photo I printed out of a baby cow from my parents’ farm… it’s a nice reminder of home!
Annie says

My favorite piece of artwork is something my cat helped me create – seriously! I was doing some watercolors and the sound of the brush on the canvas must have intrigued my cat. He came over, mewing, and started walking on the canvas leaving his adorable kitty paw prints all over! So cute!
