Yes, that's right....... art for the bathroom. Why not? Here at Direct Artwork we even have fine art for the bathroom that has a collectible and comic twist to it. Back when, it was common for "purveyors of fine household goods" to advertise their wares through art. After all, radio didn't exist and television was a long ways off down Invention Road. So, how else would a respectible merchant advertise their goods? Through art, of course!

Decorated posters, tins and all sorts of ingenuinity sprang forth in order to "get the word out". Today, those very items are highly sought after, and are highly collectible.

Well we don't claim to have any of those collectible objects of art around here, however, we do have an artist who does a fine job of recreating that imaginative and often comical art from days gone by. In our Kathy Jennings Collection of art, you'll find two such examples.

Woodland Mist by Kathy Jennings

and another wonderful art print, also for a soap product:

Yukon Thunder by Kathy Jennings

These are two wonderful examples of advertising regular household and personal products from a gentler time in our past, before mass media. They are also charming representations of true Americana artwork, available to lend a piece of that charm to YOUR home as well!

For more great examples of decorating with wall art, be sure to visit our website for a wonderful variety of fine collectible art prints waiting for that special spot in your hallway, family room, game room, kitchen, even laundry room. Visit our Framed Art Collections and browse over 40 different collections by the genre of your choice.

Thanks for looking!

Ok so spring is almost upon us although those of us back East just got dumped on with snow and ice....... 8 inches of the white stuff........

Still can't stop thinking of one more breathtaking winter scene though, since this winter was a complete bomb as far as any good snowfall, you know, the kind that is so magically quiet that you can hear each flake as it falls, thick white flakes piling up as you walk that last lap around the lake. The kind that mutes the sound of the traffic up on the main road. Lovely, that kind of snowfall, almost magical.

This print that I am about to discuss is the Poster Child for that kind of lovely snowfall.

It is a print by Kim Norlien called Rivers of Light.

What makes this print the sweetheart is the lush thickness of the snowfall, the gorgeous multicolored northern lights in the background, and the three wolves. Of course the black wolf is facing us with those glowing amber eyes.......... one can hardly break the gaze. Wolves are the spirit of the deep forest ~ their howl in the midnight hours has a primeval power that cannot be put into words. It stirs the blood more deeply than any imagining. The northern lights dancing in the background lend their colorful cast to the snow, if only for a fleeting second or two.

A print like this leaves you touched with primeval magic forever. Rivers of Light is a most incredible print.

Spring is on it's way, and winter will soon be out the door, although that will not rule out a late season snow event or two, that's for sure.

With spring on the way, so are the songbirds! They'll be starting their annual spring migrations toward their nesting and breeding grounds, and it's such a joy to sit with a cup of coffee or tea on the porch or by the window and watch them sing, chatter, play, court one another, feed at the feeder, and rear their young.

Then it's time to watch Mom and Dad (who automatically have the title of Flight Instructor) give the young birds their flight lessons, and be amazed once more at the yearly ritual of watching a little feathered being spread it's wings for the first time ~ even register amazement on it's own little face that "flight" is actually happening!!

The sweetness and joy that our feathered friends bring us has brightened many a dark hour and lifted many a dark mood! Direct Artwork is proud to be able to offer you several absolutely gorgeous art prints of our feathered friends by some of the world's most talented artists.

Take, for example, Kim Norlien's "Country Music" ~ an absolutely charming print depicting a male and female cardinal in the countryside where spring is in full bloom, probably delighting the occupants of the farmhouse in the distance with their delightful warbling song!

This lovely print can be found on our website here.

In fact, we have an entire fine art prints collection devoted to ~ what else! Birds! You can find this print and many more beautiful prints depicting our feathered friends ~ learn more......

And, remember, Happy Spring! (even though winter may still stick around for a while)

Freedom Riders by Artist Greg Benson

A motorcycle rider crosses over the creek on a stone bridge to join a gathering of friends for an evening of celebration. It is early and people have just started to arrive. The bonfire has been lit.

An example from the earliest days of motorcycling is already drawing people to the barn.

America's history of freedom and independence, (hidden images of Abraham Lincoln, George Washington and Paul Revere in the trees), is demonstrated perfectly by the motorcycle and those that ride them, and Greg Benson's powerful oil painting inspires us all to gather with friends and share our experiences.

All of Greg Benson’s limited edition prints are produced using only the finest museum quality acid free paper with colorfast inks. Each aspect of producing every limited edition print is closely supervised by Greg Benson to insure it’s quality and integrity to the original oil painting.

Greg Benson’s canvas editions are produced using the same exacting standards and using the highest quality wrap-around artist grade canvas.

Direct Artwork is proud to be able to offer this fine art print to you, along with many other examples of outstanding collectible gallery quality prints and considerable savings to you ~ our prices are up to 50% off retail and we offer free shipping and free sales tax when shipping to the Lower 48 United States. We offer generously discounted shipping to Alaska, Hawaii and Canada. Visit Direct Artwork today for more exciting and fantastically well executed collectible artwork!
