PAINT ME A PICTURE!
My husband has painted many things for our home, but I think my favorite is an abstract piece on wood that is basically splatter paint :o) It’s so pretty, but was so easy!
Heather says

My favorite one-of-a-kind piece is a drawing on my refrigerator from a former student that says, “Dear Ms. Heather, You are the best teacher in the world. I will miss having you for a teacher, but when I see you in the hall, I will give you a hug!”

PAINT ME A PICTURE!
My favorite one-of-a-kind piece of artwork is the painting I recently completed in my first ever painting course. I was very reluctant to paint my most favorite kitty (who passed away this past year from cancer) because I thought I could never do him justice. I am so glad I gave it a shot because as we all know, it is the thought that counts. : )
Kate says
“PAINT ME A PICTURE!” I love my heirloom set of Japanese prints.

So far original artwork is just a dream. But I have bought some great photo prints off Etsy.
Jesse Rader says
“PAINT ME A PICTURE!”
My favorite picture is a pencil sketch I drew in High School of a squirrel monkey that I had as a pet. My art teacher helped me immensely on it and it took me forever. Not a work of art but propbably the best I have ever done. It is mounted on a wooden shade in the garage.

On a recent business trip to Beijing, I received a hand-painted scroll in traditional script from a colleague who noticed I was rather stressed on the trip. The scroll contained a personal message of encouragement and support.

We’re young, newly married, and don’t have lots of money, so we haven’t collected much artwork other than photos yet, but we have one original painting that I scored at a garage sale for a dollar, that’s of an abstract flower, and it looks awesome in our kitchen!

My favorite piece we have is an acrylic painting that my husbands grandfather painted of a historical mill here in Alabama. It hangs in our bedroom and the greens in the pic go wonderfully with the green our bedroom is painted.
Sarah says
PAINT ME A PICTURE!
My husband’s birthday is coming up and I thought I’d get a little crafty this year. I got a canvas and some paint and filled it up with a smattering of colors that fit the theme of our master bedroom/bath (that currently has mostly empty walls). I can’t wait to give it to him and figure out where it’s new home will be.
