Stunned by Prices of Stunning Real Art

After moving into a new home, it takes awhile to set it up the way you want, reflecting the real you. One of the last things to take care of for us has been the walls. Because it's so personal, anything you hang on the wall is highly visible, and usually is a larger investment than say picture frames for a bookshelf, or a vase for flowers, etc. And if you want to invest in real art, the perception has been that it's really expensive.

Once you have to hit the wallet big-time, it's easy for inertia to take over. We've been looking at real art casually whenever we pass an art gallery or crafts fair. Recently, we purchased a beautifully framed original oil painting that was pre-framed in a astonishing gold leafed frame at a church fundraising evening. It goes so beautifully over our piano right now.

And since then we've been energized to find other original real art pieces to decorate other parts of the house. The problem is how to find not only the time, but places where they have a large inventory of art to view. Some of these mall stores have original art, but many times they are cheap reproductions and overpriced becuase of the mall rent for the store.

www.BeautifulRealArt.com offers an alternative to acquiring real art locally. This sponsored site actually sells a variety of art such as oil paintings, acrylic & watercolor paintings, drawings, photography, sculptures and pottery. Here are some interesting facets of this company:


  • They sell only original real art, not reproductions, posters, etc.


  • They stock everything they sell. There's no need for contracts, worries about consignment fulfillment, etc.


  • They offer free FedEx shipping on all fine art purchases


  • They have a $200 or less category for 'newbie' art buyers


  • They also offer gift certificates, which can be a very unique gift for someone you love.
