Recently, I’ve started to invest in original artwork for my home.  I don’t know a lot about art, but I do know what I like.  It can often be intimidating to go to a gallery, not to mention quite the investment.  One of my favorite places in the city to find original art in a completely inviting setting is Lost Art Salon.  It is a treasure trove with a wonderful assortment of works, ranging from sketches, photography, to paintings in different mediums.  Their rotating inventory features traditional and contemporary styles, and priced for many different budgets.  The space is a little hidden, but once inside, it is warm, bright and filled to the brim with art.  The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, and they don’t give you the hard sell.  I recently took advantage of their lending program, bringing home a couple pieces to try on my mantle, before deciding on an abstract watercolor from Hugh Wiley.

Here are some of the currently available works that caught my eye:

Check out these paintings and more on Lost Art’s website, or better yet, pay them a visit and see them in person.  It’s worth the trip.
