I need more wall hangings and would like to buy several prints and have them framed. I am almost set on getting these:

I like simple works with either vibrant colors or strong interplay between light and shadow. I do not find complex paintings with lots of details nor portraits to be as interesting. I love the sea and Monet as well but want variety as well. The walls of where I live are slightly off white. So what are your thoughts? Do you have any recommendations that I should consider as well? I have only one wall hanging and need some color and life in my place.

I have a 16"x20" enlargement of the photo below hanging in my room. I took it about 10 years ago when I visited St. Louis with my cousin.

Out of the pictures you linked to, the one with the sails and the barn pictures are my favourites.

Thats a beautiful photograph. Would you be willing to share a link to a version with a higher resolution? Not that I am thinking of taking it and blowing it up slightly. :wink:

No problem. The original photo's a bit dusty since it's been sitting around in a box for the last few years. I just finished washing it off and as soon as it's dry I'll scan it and put a link to it.
