Art in my Home

Art is a very big part of my home decor. Why? well because I love what does for us as people, the very act of creating is just an awesome feeling. Art is also what makes my home a very personal space because most of the art you will find in my home is from my own family's hands. This trio is just a collection that I acquired at garage and occasional sales. I have them because I love the green's in them.

The next two pictures are ones that my Mom painted. This first one is of her grandmother and grandfather that she painted from an old black and white photo that she was given by her sister

This is me. It was my Christmas gift last year. My Mother surprised all of us Kids (5) with portraits. Mom just started painting a year and a half ago. Wow

This is a set of pottery that my first daughter Amber did in high school I love the colors.

This is a picture that my son Shayne did while he was in high school he did it using only tiny little dots. I think its soooo cool

This is a picture that my husband did while he was in high school.

Side by side father and son art. love that One of the greatest things that I have done with some of their art is to have a couple of my favorite pieces professionally framed, a little expensive but I will never regret it~

This next piece was a gift from my brother in law last Christmas. Its is a Very big mosaic that he did. I just received it however, as it was traveling the country in an art contest for the VA where it took 1st place!! what a treasure.
