LOL I especially like the look on her face, sort of a "what?" appearance. I can't help but wonder if she had forethought when she drew the mouth like that. She often has her hair crossing her eye (drives her teachers nutz) but she won't wear baretts or anything... doesn't seem to bug her.

I'm not inclined to put art on the wall just to decorate. I prefer to live with objects that have meaning to me. When I was in college, I saw drawings by a local artist and fell in love. A year later when I got a job in my field, I tracked down the artist. She she still had 3 40" x 60" pieces from the exhibit. This is Witch Tree VIII. The materials are paper, lead, tobacco juice and vermillion, which are traditional gifts to the tree. The image is what Hazel saw lying one her back and looking up through Manidoo-giizhikens (aka Witch Tree, Little Cedar Spirit Tree). I'm fortunate to know a framer who is excellent in framing to enhance the art. It hangs in my dining room. Here's a link to a local TV new story on the tree. Finding MN - WCCO about the tree.

I could see a more natural feel for this room being complimentary and ideas over headboard are below as well as for accessorizing Think about how you want the whole room to feel before adding more In sitting area, try high boy on other wall with mirror above and if you added a bookcase on the far wall and chair under window it will be a cozy little reading nook. A Kilim rug would be lovely there to ground the space. Another idea, if you have another spot for chair, you could make that area more functional with a vanity.

Looking for wall art/art-work suggestions for my living room

I think you can go either way, just depending on what you like. If you add a color I'd keep it subtle and not a "punch". These are just a couple of suggestions to give you an idea. If you go with color in your artwork bring it into the rest of the room with pillows or a couple of accessories. Artwork can be pretty personal so look at things you like as you'll see it a lot and something that picks up the gray of the wall color.

you do not have to start a new thread for each one using the new image file upload option. On your current thread here each time you hit the reply box you have the option to add another photo so they would all be here in this one post.

I just looked at all the ones you've posted today. I remember some of the earlier ones you posted years ago and I think these are much better. They're more detailed and the owl is wonderful, very different.

You could do really good line work for tattoos, your lines are so straight and strong, you would likely do some really awesome pin striping and line work on cars and motorcycles. Have you ever thought about that or tried it. I can tell you it pays extremely well, even if you did it part time.

Sam, your paintings are wonderful! I hope you have good luck at the show.

The owl and number 2 are my favorites. I agree with maire_cate that your work has greatly improved over the years. Thanks for sharing!
