Recently I attended the annual Arts in the Park Festival in Blue Ridge. The festival showcased local artists with their sculptures, paintings, photographs and much more. An amazing impressionist painter by the name of Larry Smith was one of the many talented artists featured in the show. He just opened a newly constructed art gallery in Norcross, Georgia. Check out his website to view or order some of his breathtaking oil paintings. www.artistlarrysmith.com

Are you sick and tired of seeing the same old headboard everyday? Spice up your bedroom by turning your favorite painting into a fresh and unique headboard.

Be sure to hang the large-scale painting high enough so pillows will not rest against it and light the painting properly. Check out HGTV for more great decorating and design ideas.
