So many pieces I love it's really hard to choose. But this photo taken by my cousin is one of them...

Painting done by a friend of mine when we were in San Francisco.

Norman wins my heart hands down.

My first quilt.

A scratchboard painting that hangs in my living room

This is a small print I bought from a Farmers Market. By an artist with initials 'TH'.

Youngest gave this to DH one Father’s Day.

Have to hang it back. We just painted the living room.

The store owner refused to sell it to me, said she liked it, it greeted her everyday when she came to work. I had to call the store owner, he said she'd call me with a price, never did. My friend/neighbor went in and made the purchase anonymously for me. :0)

A gift of pottery from DS

San Isidro, the patron saint of farmers. I found this original painting in a local NM secondhand shop about 25 years ago. I paid only $60 for it, and it was in this beautiful frame. I later discovered that it’s over 100 years old. I love it and have had it hung here in our dining room ever since.

A handsome face drawn by a local artist.

a few of my memorial portraits.

I posted this here recently in another thread. This was a blank greeting card I found and framed.

Grosbeak and apple blossoms airbrush by a local artist. A much anticipated annual event in my backyard.

I’m partial to whimsical assemblage art. This is “Photo Drama”. It sits atop an armoire, under a skylight, in the den.

However, here is one work I fell for at the Hammer museum in CA - by Gustave Moreau. Photos do not do this work justice. The detail is truly exquisite.

King David (1878):
