Paintings under $50

So, the easiest way to get affordable art is to buy prints, of course, and etsy is a print mecca. I’ll bring you some original artwork that’s still inexpensive later in the week, but for now let’s check out some prints of original paintings.

I have to first introduce you to miss Mati Rose- I have completely fallen in love with her work over the past few months- I own three prints of hers and just started carrying some of her work in the modish shoppe. Here’s are little selection of prints from her own Suspect Shoppe on etsy, all $20-30:

Another colorful and bright artist to add cheer to your walls is Betsy Walton- her beautiful prints range from $28-35:

These yumi yumi bird paintings put a more geometric (and sparkly!) spin on the typical “bird in a tree” scene- limited editions, only $20:

And here’s some simple, sweet and did I mention sweet? prints by Brooklyn artist, Kristiana Parn- $20 each:

And last but certainly not least, the ever-crowd pleasing world unto their own prints by Apak, from my newly adopted home of Portland, OR- limited editions, $30:

There are just a few painters for ya- photographers, illustrators and many other artists to come!
