Start with the artist, not just the artwork

Buying art online can feel simple until you start looking closely. There are many paintings, prints, sizes, styles, and subjects to choose from. If you are searching for Vermont watercolor paintings for sale, I encourage you to look beyond the words “Vermont” and “watercolor.” Think about the artist, the subject, the materials, and the feeling behind the work.

I am a Bristol, Vermont artist with degrees in Studio Art and Art Education from the University of Vermont. My work brings together my love of nature and animals with expressive and abstract elements. My collection includes original artwork, fine art prints, horse and bird paintings, landscapes, and nature inspired pieces. I also share artwork created by my mother, Barbara Lane.

What makes Vermont inspired art feel personal?

Vermont has always been an important part of my life. Its mountains, farms, changing seasons, open fields, forests, water, and quiet roads provide endless inspiration.

For me, regional art does not have to look like a postcard. A painting can capture a feeling, a memory, or a sense of place. I enjoy creating work that allows recognizable subjects and abstract elements to come together.

My mother, Barbara Lane, also created paintings inspired by the places around her. Her work has a strong connection to Vermont farmland, barns, skies, and landscapes.

If you want to buy fine art watercolor prints archival, I recommend looking at the materials used, how the print is produced, and the size and presentation options available. These details can help you choose a piece that suits your home.

Original art or a fine art print?

This is one of the first questions many art buyers ask, and both options have something special to offer.

An original painting is the actual piece I created. It has its own marks, details, and character. A fine art print allows you to enjoy an image in a different format while making it easier to choose the size and presentation that work for your space.

I offer fine art prints made with premium archival inks. Depending on the artwork, you can choose archival fine art paper or canvas, along with different sizes and presentation options.

When choosing between an original and a print, think about what matters most to you. You may want the original artwork, or you may simply love a particular image and want to bring it into your home in a format that suits your space.

What to look for when buying art online

Buying art online should give you enough information to feel comfortable with your choice. Before purchasing, I suggest looking at a few simple details:

• Who created the artwork? Learning about the artist can help you connect with the work.

• What type of artwork is it? Check whether you are looking at an original or a fine art print.
• What materials are used? For prints, consider the paper, canvas, and inks.
• What size do you need? Think about the wall or space where you plan to display the artwork.
• What subjects appeal to you? Consider whether you are drawn to animals, landscapes, nature, or abstract work.
• Can you view the artwork locally? Some of my original artwork can be viewed and purchased at Bristol Inn Vermont.

Taking a little time to look at these details can make the buying process easier.

How to choose art for your space

When choosing artwork, I would not start with what is trending. I would start by asking yourself what you want to see every day.

Maybe you have always loved horses. Perhaps a bird painting reminds you of time spent outdoors. You may prefer a quiet landscape or feel drawn to artwork with abstract elements.

Consider the colour, size, subject, and placement, but also pay attention to your emotional response. The artwork you choose should be something you genuinely enjoy.

Some of my available prints include Feeling the Joy, Nature's Candy, Tender Mercies, Reunion, Birds 1, and Stillness in Motion. My collection also includes horse related artwork and other expressive pieces.

A closer look at my artwork

I grew up around art and remember watching my mother, Barbara Lane, paint at the kitchen table. That early experience had a lasting influence on me.

Today, I work from my home studio in Bristol Inn Vermont, at the foot of Mount Abraham. I focus on nature and animals while bringing realistic and abstract elements into my paintings.

My connection with animals has also shaped my work in other ways. Creating commissioned animal portraits eventually led me into animal communication. I also offer semi abstract horse commissions for people who want something personal and meaningful.

For a horse commission, I work from photographs and conversations about the horse. You can share additional photographs and stories that help me understand your horse and what makes them special to you. I begin with an outline drawing before moving forward with the painting.

My website currently lists several canvas sizes, and commissions generally take about four to six weeks.

A simple way to begin your search

If you feel overwhelmed by the choices available when buying art, keep it simple.

Start with a subject you naturally connect with. Decide whether you want an original or a print. Look at the available sizes and materials, then think about where you want to display the piece.

You do not need to be an art expert to choose something meaningful. You simply need to find a piece that speaks to you and that you will enjoy having in your space.

Final Remarks

For me, art has never been only about filling an empty wall. It is about the feeling that stays with us after we look away.

Maybe you connect with a horse because of a special relationship. Maybe a Vermont landscape reminds you of a place you love. Maybe an abstract piece makes you feel something you cannot quite put into words.

That is what I love about choosing art. You get to decide what matters to you.

I invite you to spend some time with my collection, look through the originals and prints, and see what catches your attention. You may begin your search looking for a painting, but you might find something that feels like it belongs with you.
