How would you like to beautify and brighten up every room in your home in a one-of-a-kind fashion that literally no one else could duplicate?

Every family member or friend that visits your home will feel more warmth when they're there with any of the many art paintings available at www.AntonelaArt.com.

All the original paintings from Antonela's Fine Art Portfolio at www.AntonelaArt.com are created right here in the USA. And it doesn't matter if you like watercolor, acrylic or oil paintings. All the work is done exclusively on American-made canvases and paper.

My favorites are of course the patriotic paintings like the Flying Eagle or the American Eagle and Flag. Either one of these (or both) will make a bold, patriotic statement in your home just like they have in mine. Even though these particular paintings are marked "sold," they are still available as prints (replicas of the original - which command a much lower price that the original). If you would like an original of an already sold painting, simply email the artist (Antonela) at ant_simm@yahoo.com and you will receive it as soon as possible.

If traditional style is more your style, how about one of Antonela's many oil landscapes like A Dream in the Spring, Waterfall in the Woods, The Heart of the Woods, or any seascape as well? If you prefer impressionistic style, The Romantic Lighthouse can be a perfect one.

Maybe you'd prefer a flower painting which can be the most beautiful and full-of-grace gift in any occasion. My old childhood home in Illinois had a Tulip tree, so I knew a watercolor painting like that was perfect for me. You can see another one of my favorites that reminds me of the home I grew up in here.

On the watercolor flowers page, you'll find all kinds of beautiful paintings of roses, magnolias, poppies, pansies, hibiscus, poinsettias, anemones, amaryllis, and of course tulips. Watercolor flower paintings are less expensive than the oil or acrylic offerings.

The acrylic paintings include all the seasons (Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter) in spectacular colors and impressions, as well as A Song of Love at Paris which was accepted for exhibition at the Orlando Museum of Art. The great thing about this painting is that it actually looks like you are viewing the Eiffel Tower in Paris at night (impressionistic style). Also featured are three Venice paintings, the spectacular Sunset Florida, and peaceful mountain lake painting called Serenity.

Just as many of the greatest Americans were self taught rather than formally schooled (Abraham Lincoln comes to mind) Antonela, who is originally from Romania (and my wife as of almost two years ago) did not receive her gift of art through art school. She was constantly fascinated by the magic between light, colors and spaces from her childhood following a pure talent - a gift from God - inherited from her grandfather who was an artist as well.

She has been sharing her talent and gifts with other people with a lot of giving, combining also her love for painting, writing and psychology making her own life style. She says these areas complement each other and represent an endless source of imagination and positive energies for her.

One of her favorite original quotes is "If we don't have love, light and giving in our lives, what do we have?!"

All of the prices listed on www.AntonelaArt.com include FREE shipping. She can honor any style and size of painting after the customer's desire.
