Roundup : Wall Art
We’re moving right along this week! I’ll admit- I blocked yesterday off because I got my second vaccination on Monday, so I assumed I might feel side effects and be stuck in bed on Tuesday. Luckily, I felt totally normal, so I played hooky and took the day to go skiing (since we got snow yesterday) with my high school art teacher who is here visiting Park City! It ended up being a great day and I’m thankful to be feeling good and fully vaccinated. Anyway- today’s blog post is another reader request! Many of you messaged asking for more art roundups! I’ve got a BIG roundup that covers lots of different topics for you today: landscapes, abstract pieces, vintage art, portraits, and even three dimensional options. I tried to pick something for every aesthetic and budget. Click through to browse some of the art I’ve been loving lately…
Art is one of those decor or home accessories that really makes a space feel personal and layered. I’m currently working on gathering art for my home office, and I’ve found it’s something that can’t be rushed. If I see a piece I love, I’ll grab it… but my collection is constantly growing (slowly). Even if I don’t have a specific place or room in mind for art, but a piece speaks to me- I’ll buy it because I know eventually I’ll find the perfect spot and it will make me smile. Anyway, ready to see what I found? First up- landscapes…

01: vintage seascape // 02: italian hills print // 03: long landscape print // 04: countryside sketch // 05: big sur canvas // 06: clouds art // 07: vintage tree
Number one is a gorgeous original that I found at an estate sale for the Tuesday Made shop. I seriously considered keeping that one (and still might). You know I also had to include a piece from my best friend, Laurie Anne. I will never tire of her paintings!
01: abstract portrait // 02: blind contour // 03: ink portrait // 04: afro woman portrait // 05: bath painting // 06: figures in embrace
When it comes to portraits, I love them all… figure drawings, oil paintings, abstracts, and even the super realistic ones. I think the human form is just gorgeous. If you’re interested in reading more about my thoughts on that- check out this post on nude art.
01: vintage horse painting // 02: thoroughbred pair // 03: vintage horse race // 04: colt in stable // 05: horse study pair
Does horse or equine art deserve its own category? Probably not, but if you’ve been hanging out here long enough- you know that I live and breathe horses. I think equine art is so stunning, timeless, classic, and looks good anywhere!
01: untitled 24 // 02: encapsulated shapes II // 03: loop // 04: neutral labyrinth // 05: last tuesday
When it comes to abstract art, I usually gravitate toward palettes that are more neutral- or have just a few bold, high contrast colors mixed in. I love pairing these neutral and textural pieces alongside more classical or traditional pieces of art. It creates such a nice juxtaposition that feels sophisticated and interesting.
01: framed intaglio III // 02: mali textile // 03: embroidered silk // 04: plaster relief // 05: embroidered butterfly // 06: palm fronds
Lastly, let’s chat three dimensional artwork… from relief artwork to framed textiles and shadow boxes, these types of pieces add depth to your wall. Remember when I dyed fabric with coffee and framed it, pictured below? 3-D art creates a beautiful visual, layered difference and are perfect in a gallery wall setting or on their own, paired with a picture light to really highlight the dimension. Yes, you’re welcome- I included a butterfly for my insect loving friends (despite the fact they give me the heebie-jeebies).
I’d love to hear your favorites from the roundup, as well as your favorite piece of art in your own home! Art is such a special part of our interior spaces and I’m very glad we live in a world where we can fill our homes with gorgeous pieces that bring us joy and reflect our personalities. Art is a fun way to read people and one of the first things I notice when I enter someone’s home!
