best online sites for prints & paintings ..???
after my other half kindly cleared the whole house as he moved out after divorce .. lots of bare walls ....holes ...and dirty marks !! ...

can't really cope with trudging the shops at the moment and wondered where there might be some good online shops ?


thanks

Depends on what turns you on / and your budget? Normally the latter takes priority - which may suggest prints rather than originals.

Try Ebay for a start? Plenty of prints / paintings on there - and have a look at the specialist Ebay shops, where there's quite a good selection. Including, on some, a framing option (inc the ability to try various moulds / colours round your preferred pic) .... if you need something delivered that's immediately fixable? Then Google around ... if no joy there.

On Ebay - obvious precautions, and only go for sellers with good feedback. May be preferable, if you're not in desperate need, to buy the pics online but get them framed locally. Sometimes cheaper - and picture glass doesn't always travel in the post too well (and - personal taste - I don't like the acrylic option, despite the better travel manners).

Ironically - my main job tomorrow is to list / number some 35 framed pics which fitted on the walls of our last house ... but not here. Then get them over to an auction house early next week. So ... if you want a catalogue;)
