When we first got married we wanted to buy a nice painting with some of our gift money. We soon found out that it was WAY too expensive. A decent sized painting just at an art student level starts at $1400 or thereabouts. A known regional artist will run you several thousand dollars. If it's somebody that a lot of people have heard of, just forget about it. It really pains me because I would like to have something nice on the wall(we have a lot of open spaces on our walls) and I am not really inclined to do the faux culturish thing of framing print posters in order to seem international.
Maybe in another, more affluent life.
