Art for STRs

[Patricia Andriolo-Bull]

Good morning.  I am in the process of updating/furnishing a new property.  I am set on furnishings and housewares/linens as I have my old standbys for everything at this point.  The thing I consistently struggle with is art, especially big pieces.  I go for the luxury/upscale coastal market.  Good art is expensive.  Anyone have any suggestions on where I can find a few good, larger pieces that don't look cheap but also don't break the bank?

This is what I did for a cabin I built in Gatlinburg:  We took a few royalty-free photos of the area off of the internet, and submitted them to an art site online whereby they make a painting of the photo.  It's really inexpensive.  They both turned out fabulous and really gave our property an upscale look.  

This is one of the photos that we had painted. It turned out amazing.
