Fabulous Friday Finds

Today we are going to look at some of my favorite finds in art, all at great prices. Every single piece shown is under $100.

I have included tiny original abstracts in stunning pastels by Marquin Campbell that can be hung on the wall or can sit on a chest or table with their 2" thick canvases. She has painted a stunning piece for my Chinoiserie Man Cave One Room Challenge that I can't wait to share with you.

The botanical photographs by Sarah Hollander are breathtaking. These are the modern alternative to botanical engravings. I predict they become very popular with interior designers. She has created some exclusive pieces for The Pink Pagoda.

I adore the whimsical work of Caitlin McGauley, one of my favorite artists. Her limited edition prints always sell out.

The art of The Aestate has such a great modern edge. I love it. You will be seeing one of her pieces in my Chinoiserie Man Cave One Room Challenge.

Cheetah Twins Print by The Aestate

My final one today is this wonderful banana leaf print by The Aestate inspired by Hinson's Martinique wallpaper. At a large 20 by 30 inches, with four different banana leaf prints to choose from, use one, a pair, or a set of four to make quite a statement without the commitment and cost of wallpapering the room in this iconic design. This one is Beverly IV in the series.

Kerry Steele Flash Sale

If you have had your eye on artist Kerry Steele, you may know that her gallery presence is now her main focus, although she still maintains a small Etsy shop and a shop on her webpage Kerry Steele.com.

In a recent phone interview Kerry had this to say:

"I rotate art on my walls at home quite frequently and, aside from a few cherished pieces, when things sell, so does the look of my house. There are paintings here that I never intended to say goodbye to, but at this point I really want to hone in on my new ideas for a body of work."

This special event includes some of those items never before offered for sale. Kerry has added special pricing on some of these pieces. Any questions should be directed to art@kerrysteele.com but you can purchase any of the paintings shown by using the buttons below them. Shipping varies and will show in the checkout and is based on size. Large items will be crated and shipped within 5 business days.

This is a wonderful opportunity to add a very special piece of art to your home. Do you have a favorite? I adore the one just below "Puccini without words" and Say Momma" especially. Both have soft lavender - my color of the year for 2014.

Kerry Steele, The Pink Pagoda, Abstract Art, and the ORC

It has been wonderful to watch the partnership between Jennifer at The Pink Pagoda and artist Kerry Steele with commissioned art for Jennifer's home for the One Room Challenges. Although each painting is unique, using the same artist for major works of art in the home has given it a wonderful cohesiveness and flow. These photos show the painting Kerry created for Jennifer's teen daughter's room for this last One Room Challenge.

The pink and blue piece in the upper right of the gallery wall is by Kerry Steele.

This is the piece Jennifer commissioned for her family room One Room Challenge.

These two paintings were actually commissioned for the family room, but Jennifer decided she loved them in the dining room.

Visit Kerry Steele to see the works she has available now, to learn more about commissioning a piece of art for your home, and to learn about her new Patron Installment Program.
