I have one original Ansel Adams print, one Edward Weston print, some oils of old oil well scenes and some framed prints of the drawings from my Grandfather's patents.
Other than that it's skulls, antlers, and stuff like that. |

Do I spy a small repro of Hokusai's "The Great Wave?" (Originals of that one sell for tens if not hundreds of thousands) I have a few original Hokusais. Do note that by "original" print, it means hundreds of them were made.

I never bought art, but I have acrylics of my own, and some art by my friend (a commercial artist I knew before I met my wife). Most of my walls are decorated with art obtained by my wife since she was pretty close to the ceramic artist community in San Francisco back in the 70s. Her cousin was a National Endowment Awardee, and our main piece is his.

Yeah man, art is dope.
I've got some stuff hanging up in my music room by local artists, national artists, etc. Got a few more pieces that need to be hung up, but that'll have to wait a little bit. And I'm always on the prowl for more. |

Computer room Anime wall scrolls.  Living room Space theme  So... posters... and such. The only things over $100 on my walls would be the signed cast photos... or maybe the genuine Saturn 5 F1 engine Blue print. |

I have a painting that has been in the Louvre in Paris. We bought it across the street from the museum right before we went in to get some culture. Cost 20 Euros. I was surprised that the guards didn't care.
ETA I bought a small poster at Wall Drugs up in South Dakota for $7.00. Shows the location of the different native American tribes in the US. For my Christmas present, the woman of the house took it to a shop to have it mounted and framed. It looks really nice, however she still won't tell me what it cost. |

I’ve got a bunch that are $250-1500 but nothing real fancy. Some that cost more to frame than the pieces themselves.

I have quite a bit of original art hung up. Oils, watercolor, some marble sculpture, misc media.
Some of it is my mom's work. She was an oil painter. Also some prints. Charity auctions are a great way to get nice work for a very reasonable price. |

I'm not an artistic person, but I have been to a few touristy type galleries. I found one near CO Springs where they had scenic prints by a guy named Paul Hanke. Some pretty neat photos, and affordable. You will never see me in some fancy gallery with abstract type prints you have to "interpret." Those people are fruitcakes.
I also have a decent Nikon and some good glass, I've taken a few photos of my ARs I plan to hang in my gun room someday. No time to take it seriously at the moment. |

I make my own art, either to keep for my own walls, or I sell it or trade it for art from other artists I dig.
Here’s an oil painting I just finished, for instance, that I think I’ll keep:  Attached File |

And of course several photos of doggos. |

We have a few from a guy who does large format photography. I think the biggest one was a little over a grand including the frame. I wanna say it's 36x28
He has some panoramas that I think are 72x36 that are a few thousand. We thought about buying one for our last house but never pulled the trigger. I actually just picked up a picture my wife bought that she had framed today. Nothing we have would be considered fine art. |

Pretty much just old photographs and daguerreotypes of the missus' ancestors, a couple photos of some of my family, a bunch of photos taken by the missus (her being a photographer and all,) a few old maps, and one painting. Said solitary painting was painted by a former officer here, and depicts one of our city's sewerage and water board meter covers with a broken blue fleur de lis lying atop it in a puddle of blood, bleeding from several bullet holes, alongside some spent 7.62X39mm brass. It is titled "Fleur Debris."
