Sorry for not posting much over the past couple weeks. I've been traveling around and haven't had the opportunity. A couple of new paintings purchased from ebay had arrived in the mail while I was gone. I really like them and wanted to share the images.
The first is "The Tulip Fairy" by Sarah Kinan
The second is "Harp and Birds" by Sam Richard 
Last year I went through a stage of looking extensively through paintings on ebay and happened upon artist Zora Kader. While there are many painters on ebay that I like, Zora is probably my favorite.
I'm cheap, so most of the auctions of Zora's paintings end up a tad out of my price range (I have bid on several but the really good stuff tends to get quickly bid up), but if you're looking for some original art and like this style I encourage you to check out the auctions on ebay. Here's an image of one of my favorite Zora Kader paintings - "The Sound of Music" - to whet your appetite.
The style of the paintings evolves a little bit over time. Currently the paintings use less of the really bright colors like the sample above in favor of more primary colors, but the themes of mother and child, musicians, horse riding, and angels seem to be consistent.
