Have you ever gone to art fairs and wished you could buy an original from an artist whose work you really love? I sure have...but the prices were way over my budget.
My solution? Check to see if the artist is selling notecards. Most of the artists that I love usually have a rack of them with really great prices.
These examples are prints of watercolors by a favorite artist of mine --
Mary Gibbs -- who lives nearby and always exhibits at the
Bellevue Arts Fair.
I picked up these beauties a few years back for about $12.00 which is arguably less expensive than buying all eight of these prints in the smallest matted form she was selling. I love the clip style frames which really lend themselves to my art display style. I chose four floral prints and four architectural prints. I also made sure to choose four landscape layout and four which were portrait style. A piece of black poster board cut to the size of the frame -- Voilà! -- cool art for my hallway area.
Total cost for this project: ~$20.00
How it looks on my wall: Priceless
