We have, on our lounge wall, a couple of prints of places we have visited, an old picture that used to hang on my late grandmother's wall and painting by my uncle, who is a relatively well-known artist.

We have another of his paintings, plus some works by my other uncle, yet to be hung, and there are also some pictures by my Mum, and some others from places we have visited, so our pictures are all personal to us, in some way or other.

I've created collages of places we've gone as well - pictures we've taken together. For example, we have a collage of when we lived up in Washington, DC and walked around the Tidal Basin when all the cherry blossoms had bloomed. We also have a collage of our honeymoon in Punta Cana hanging up in a place that brings out all the gorgeous blues, greens, pinks, yellows, etc.

We've got pictures sitting all around our house (not necessarily hanging) of us as well - from the years we were dating, from our wedding, after our wedding, etc.

Another thing we've got that I absolutely love is four German pewter carvings - one for each of the seasons - that we bought on our trip to Europe back in April 2009. Along with those items from Germany, we also have several German Beer Steins and German Smokers (Santa's, Beer Garden guys, etc.).

When I thought about this question, I looked around to decide and realized that I have quite an eclectic collection of art. Probably my favorite from an esthetic point of view is my wonderful artagraph of Monet's "Antibes."

My favorite memory invoking hanging is a oil of Destin Beach Florida by M.S. Lee.

We also have a collection of Bugs Bunny sericels, and other Bugs hangings.

My daughter, mother, mother-in-law, have contributed to our collection and I love them all.

BTW my favorite artist or painting is "Old Fort at Antibes" by Caaude Monet. Fell in love with it when it was here on tour.

I love Monet's works.

This just reminded me of Gaudi.
We went to Barcelona recently and admired some of his work.
Amazing!

There is no photo, or any other reproduction that can compare to seeing great works of art in person.

Completely agree - my husband and I went hiking the other weekend on what seemed like the tallest mountain around. We took some amazing pictures, but there's no way when we show them to someone that they'll ever actually be able to imagine truly what it looked like in person.

Absolutely!
I take hundreds of photos ~ but they very rarely capture what I actually experienced.

I caught a very, very brief glimpse of the Dali museum, too.
I shall have to seek that out, again, for a proper look
