    ooh, love these prints! our family is from all over (i’m canadian, my husband is american, my oldest was born in australia, and my youngest in vermont), so it’d be so cool to have a wall of paintings representing our multinational/multistate family!

    i’d love a startrek style transporter that allows us to visit our very spread-out family.

    I have poppy and pinecone as a favorite. I have been thinking about a texas pictures and I really like the world map you have shown above. I am trying to do a wall of interesting prints and have found a few things on etsy….just don’t know if it would look funny to have two of the same on the wall……any thoughts (since you are the experts)?

    Reply
    • Hey Wendy,

      Honestly, I think if you have a good mix of different art with a variety of sizes, two on the same wall would look just fine. The other option is to get two or three 11 by 14 prints to place in larger frames to round out the grouping and keep it cohesive. But, I think all of Elisabeth’s work is amazing…
