That is wonderful and so perfect for your room!

I've posted this before (surely too many times)...it's a raku triptych that I love. The river is ribbons of copper that shimmer in the light:

That's a really cool and unexpected piece. Nice! My "artwork" is more expected I guess....and not especially liked by the masses as I've received snarky comments in the past...but...I liked my iron work candle holder.

And my hard to see from here clear bird picture

I love how the copper flows through it!

lukkiiirish- I do love your iron piece and the generous windows in both bathrooms!

I adore the cat heads! The Parisian scene is a beautiful piece of art.

I have a stone Buddha in the bathroom we're planning to reno. I'm not even close to knowing what color to paint the room, so I'm looking for inspirational art to chose a color off. Keep them coming folks! I love what I'm seeing so far.

Stone Buddha-that is great!

This is even more fun than I thought!

Total cheese, but it's in the "fun" bathroom that makes me happy, lol.

I've just painted my half bath on the first floor SW 'Irish Cream', and am starting to add art and decor. It's nowhere near done, but here it is so far. The Spode Woodland Hunting Dog plates were a gift from a wonderful friend.

A wonderful vintage brass clock from eBay - I changed all the hardware, faucet, and light fixtures to brass; this was taken before I put the brass over head light up. Some corner cabinet items will change. Antique wild turkey and dog lithos, and others will appear.
Antique oil that looks just like my late Brittany Joey - Can't wait for this antique 'biscuit barrel' lined with ceramic to arrive from the UK from Etsy. It will go on top of the pine corner cupboard.

From the same shop, since this bath now has a dog theme. I may hang a hand towel from it - we'll see!

Blue footed boobies in conversation. From our trip to the Galapagos.

Love seeing everyone's art-all so interesting and all so different. Sueb20: will you share the etsy artist web-site?

My3dogs would love to see pics of your whole bathroom. I remember it from before and thought it was very pretty then as well.

Thank-you, Shee! Once I get it all in place, I'll share. It all started when my buddy 'Chijim' sent an email with this beautiful kitchen, and I zeroed in on the curtains. Looking back at old pics, I realized that bathroom had been green for 10 years. I started looking for similar fabric, found 3 yards on eBay, and then a paint that blended with the fabric, and I was off. Very bad pic of the curtains below. I didn't have enough to make the cute style in the inspiration.

Lizbeth -- the etsy artist's name is "pcotterill" (Patricia Cotterill). I looked on her etsy page and she's "taking a short break." Hope she's coming back! I have bought a few great small paintings from her. A couple others:

My paint by numbers in the powder room

I need to frame them

I just love seeing art in the bathroom! Really love what everyone has posted here, and I hope more will join in on this thread.

I've posted the artwork in our master bath before, but here it is again. They are all original paintings (well, the yucca picture is pen-and-ink), and while not monetarily valuable by any stretch of the imagination they are treasures to me because they all speak to me of places I've been and love.

Ida- I'm so glad to see so many others beautifying their bathrooms with works of art. I think we spend the time in there, why not have art pieces provide joy?

I sound like a broken record when I say that I love art with a passion, but I do. . . and my home reflects that. So, forgive me if this is a little pic heavy.

Our guest bathroom reflects the cowboy influence here in New Mexico, as does our guest bedroom. In part, this is also a nod to my DH's ancestors. His great+grandfather came over from England to become a cowboy. He did just that, making it all the way to Oklahoma Territory, where he eventually met and married the daughter of a very famous Chickasaw leader.

Anyhoo, the small wall divides the sink area to the left from the toilet and tub area. Here, I've hung a Native American mandala, a small metal Moravian star and two framed prints that I love. On the side of the tub there is an old branding iron made into a candle holder. In the foreground, on the wall's ledge is an old horseshoe and a part of a very old child's toy gun that we found on our property. Until we built, this was virgin land, only used in the past for Indian hunting parties and early settlers passing through. This is why I have one print reflecting each .

We have tall ceilings here! The horse art is from a New Mexican artist. The tile, BTW, is Talavera. We've used different patterns throughout our home when building.
(Edited to add that the two silver wall sconces were made to resemble ornate stirrups. Another horse thing-LOL!)Across from the sink wall, I've hung this wonderful horse print that I love. As you can probably tell, I'm a horse lover and that love carries over into the guest room art, as well. This was matted and framed beautifully by a gallery in Santa Fe.
To the left of the sink is my linen cabinet for the guest room (it's a nice-sized one that goes all the way to the floor) . All of our light fixtures, mirror frames and punched tin door inserts throughout our home were designed and made especially for us by the Romero Family of Santa Fe. They are artists known throughout the Southwest for their beautiful punched tin artwork. Another Moravian star above the door. BTW, all of our doors were handmade, too. Above the linen cabinet is another Indian mandala, a beautifully carved miniature covered wagon and two suede hand puppets, made by a New Mexican artist up in Santa Fe. The Welcome sign is rusted metal and also made by a NM artist.

In our powder room, I've concentrated more Native American art. The signed Edward Gonzales print on the left wall is very special to me. I bought it from him while taking one of his art classes. On the other wall there is a very old window, reverse painted with Santos (saints) found in pueblo churches in the area. Yes, most NA's are Christian, so this is very common. More Talavera tile (the sink is, too, BTW). The small framed print is one of two I have in here by a favorite NM artist. My bear fetish was made for me many years ago. And the woven basket holds pine branches and pine cones, as I live in the middle of thousands of acres of pine trees.

Close-up of the small framed piece:
Another wall holds this étagère. It houses extra hand towels, more small framed art, two hand-carved kachinas (top shelf) and two Native American Storyteller figurines. (Edited to add that the bowl on the top shelf there holds a small part of my collection of Native American pottery shards that I've found on our property over the years. They're wonderful!)


I warned you that I have a lot of art . . . and this is only two rooms of it (LOL)! But, it makes me incredibly happy to surround myself and my family with it, and that's what counts.

Lynn, thank you so much for sharing your stories and photos! I can appreciate how intensely personal and meaningful your displayed pieces mean to you.

As always, My3dogs, your décor choices are exquisite! Love every piece!

We hung pictures taken on our trip to Hawaii--para sales/flowers...on the open shelving I display my array "sand in bottles" of all the beaches we were at as well as the shells...

Bessie, over the toilet.

Darn it! I was just looking back through all this great bathroom art and I noticed that my original post was gone! So here it is once again:

Mimi, I love your beautiful diptych turtle art! Your new wall color enhances them beautifully. Although I'm a coward myself when it comes to painted walls, I always appreciate color done right . . . and your is! I'm also noticing that your mosaic tile echoes the turtle's shell. Also, IMO, the granite looks like the movement of sand under water (I've done a lot of scuba and skin diving). Did you plan those? Anyhoo, it's a truly wonderful makeover!

Lynn, you've really made my day. I am so appreciative that you can see where I was going with the finishes!

I love seeing everyone's 'bathroom art'. Here's mine. Sorry for the bad glare, but it was impossible to get a good angle and even get the colors to look right.

The first two are in our Master bath. The second one is an old print by a guy in my hometown. He captured many scenes I recall from my years of growing up. This is one I recall fondly as many people sat on this levee and fished.

These two are in our powder room. The first is one we bought in Hawaii on an anniversary trip. I loved the artist's use of colors. Ended up with two of his. I keep saying I am going to re-mat and re-frame it but I still like the white. The other is just some antique bathtubs I liked.

These are a couple in our spare bathroom. The first is the other print from Hawaii and the other is a small oil painting my aunt painted a long time ago. She took up painting after she retired from teaching and had fun with it. She gave me this small one and another large one I don't have hung that was quite modern.

outsideplaying, your bathroom art collection must bring you so much happiness and so many memories when you look at them. It's so nice to just be able to glance at these pieces from time to time, like touchstones.

All of my bathroom art is original... mostly mine, one piece by a niece, and I went to an art opening a few years ago and bought a single edition original print that I just love and it makes me smile every time I look at it. Not my usual kind of art -- it's silhouettes of people in all sizes/shapes/ages doing various things, like walking, bike riding, etc... called 'Busy Bodies'. It's hung so that it reflects in the mirror of the bathroom/meds cabinet. lol!

Partymusic, that "Busy Bodies" art sounds really interesting. One of my favorite things about art is how every artist gives us his/her own personal interpretation of an idea or vision.

Fun thread. This one's supposed to be family name but could say a@@hole Americans for all I know, ha

One more, inexpensive but I love it b/c predominantly color is red

Wow, what an eclectic mix! Here's mine:

bossy, too funny. I once had a dress with an Asian character or two down the front. I wore it to a job interview and one of the interviewers asked if it said, "Death to capitalist pigs." It definitely broke the ice.

Love birds. A print I got on etsy.

OK, after I saw MagdalenaLee's shower curtain I don't feel so bad about my insect themed bathroom. This is kind of my "reveal" from another post. I was looking for a small bathroom rug because my space is too small for most of the over-the-counter rugs out there. I was initially thinking of a "northwoods" theme but found this rug below, loved it, and decided to go with it.

It was PERFECT (except for when it wasn't) Really toned down the blue/pink vibe in the room from the flooring that has to stay for now. BUT, once I washed it, it faded, and now won't lay flat, ends curl. Color variation not due to lighting, due to fading. Big disappointment.

But the colors and general aquatic insect theme are working for me, so I'm just going to wait until the next good rug comes along. The picture below is of a little stream called the Weise, in our town's sister city in Germany. I have hiked along the stream, and the picture was a gift from some exchange visitors my folks hosted many years back. Not great art but meaningful. It doesn't have a searing hole in the middle, that's just my bad photo lighting.

My mom went to the photo exhibit for the caddisfly picture and brought me back a poster which I framed. I have another picture of a spider web but don't have a photo of it yet.

Love dragonflies!

You all have very pretty things to look at while sitting. Here's what I just printed and framed. It's going out to our lake cabin's loo this weekend.
