I neeeeeed some new A-R-T....

I am in the process of changing out these old empty frames and adding some ART, then placing the UK flag painting elsewhere in my home. I think the empty frame trend is just about done.....don't you? However, I want to add a bunch of frames placed close together...this time with art in them, including some of my own. Here are 11 pieces (with the exception of 2 that are mine) that I'd like to see on my wall. What do you think of my selections??? Any art you'd recommend?? I'd also like to keep all the pieces relatively small. Would love to hear from anyone....please leave some links or comments thanks!

  2. If you are into fashion photography, may I suggest my own little etsy shop? Perhaps something there will strike your fancy! :)

  3. Well...I will shamelessly say to come check out my Etsy store. Hehehehe. There is a big pretty poppy that is because of my love of England. You might like it or something else ;)

  6. i love 1,2,10 and 11. i'm glad you did this post because i just painted my entry wall a beautiful graphite gray color and want to add pops of colorful art. you've given me some ideas...

  7. #6 is totally you. Go for it.
    I also see your style in #9 and #10. I think #2 is your work so definitely include that.

    Just an idea but if you don't want to put holes in your walls you can hang two picture ledges directly over one another and just do a rotating art gallery so you can lean them against the wall and play with the arrangement whenever you like. I know that is "nothing new" but honest to god it is the best thing for people who love to switch things up a lot (designers!).

  8. I would also love to suggest my very own Etsy shop. I make collages out of recycled magazines.

    I got your light blue LOVE print for Christmas (actually I have not seen it yet because it is still at the frame shop) I am thinking about getting another one just like it so that I can put "LOVE, LOVE" over my bed (that is what my husband and I say instead of "I Love You" every night.) Anyway, look at my shop and let me know if you would like to do a trade. :)

  12. i love the two by you! they're just so cute! i tend to love more graphical art rather than fine art (they're great too but too expensive!), i find supermarket always have a good selection. http://supermarkethq.com/browse/paper_print/art
    hope that helps :)

  13. My suggestion would be to add a few personal photographs to the wall as well.. Preferably black and whites...I love to go through old photos at my parents house from my childhood.. blow them up and turn them black and white.. Mixed in with your art work on the wall it will be a perfect combination of your past, present, and inspiration for your future...

    Enjoy creating!

  19. I've never seen your blogs and tea print before Jen, and I just adore it! Of course it probably helps that I've been sitting here with a mug of tea reading my fave blogs--but hey, if it's true, it's true!

  20. Hi Ms. Jen! I have an award for you on my blog!
