Do you hear the sound of snazzy trumpets? We do when we look at this Outer Banks beach! That’s because it takes a cue from a revival of the ‘80’s Memphis art movement, and it’s swinging into homes right now this year.
Between the lively green forest and the surreal shapes in the foliage, we can’t stop staring at this abstract painting! The bright airy atmosphere it exudes is a great finishing touch for kitchens, living rooms, or anywhere else needing a light lift of cheer in the décor.
Did you know that animal portraits are a huge art trend this year? Whether it’s symbolism, whimsical, or actual animal portraits, all are welcome additions to liven up your creature comforts. This adorable oil painting adds the perfect pop of playful color for your home or work space.
Who can possibly go wrong with a graceful oil painting of a butterfly resting on beautiful flowers? Portraits of nature are a timeless trend that are sure to impress your guests each time they come to visit. Think twice about who you’ll invite… They may return sooner than you think!
Home décor fashionistas are embracing the comfort of round and soft textures this year. What could be more comforting than a soft fluffy owl? This one looks so soft and real, you’d be surprised it’s actually a watercolor painting!

Whether it’s a frazzled up Monday or a relaxing Saturday, it’s always a good time to gently hold cute playful animals accurately painted in gorgeous miniature art. There’s tons of endearing treasures at Seaside Art Gallery’s International Miniature Art Show, too!
The sheer tiny scale of miniature art has made it a favorite romantic medium for centuries. Did you know that nobles in the Renaissance would send miniature portraits of each other as a way to help choose suitor prospects?
There’s something special about finding memorabilia with the same theme as your favorite place. This is especially true when you find artwork that features our little ribbon of sand called the Outer Banks.
