One of my dear friends is an artist and I'm going to buy a custom painting from her. I'm trying to figure out the size I want it to be.

Here is a picture of the wall in our living room where I would put the painting. It will hang beneath the Bless Our Nest sign. I originally was thinking BIG - to extend the length of the sign, but that would be 40"+ and those canvases are $60+ alone, not to mention the cost of oil and paying for her time AND shipping... so that might not be a cost effective option.

OR I was thinking have her do two paintings such as 18x18" or 20x20 and evenly space them underneath the sign.

Lastly I could do 20x16, which she would offer that size at a discount. That is the size I taped off in the picture below to get a visual. Does it look too small for that wall? I think it could work but I'm unsure.

What do you think?
