You can also frame a postcard. Sometimes you can buy a set of say 12 for quite cheap or tear a page from a magazine or newspaper. If you don't want to ruin a book you can photocopy the art too or just find sth you like online which is free and print it out. I actually asked my kids to paint a big canvas, they were 4 and 6, they did it with acrylic paints, in the garden and now I have cheap modern art hanging on the landing.
Anna Maledon Picture Book Author I often buy calendars from the previous year at a huge discount for this purpose. Or lots of magazine photos or artwork are frame worthy. Plus coffeetable books at yard sales and thrift stores. The nice thing about calendars and books is that you can often find a series of related images which is nice for interior decor.
I think it's a good idea. Especially for very expensive pieces. Your taste in art can change depending on the stage of your life. You might buy a very expensive piece of art and love it, then one day years later it just doesn't feel like you anymore.
Wonderful, affordable ideas! Thank you from New Mexico 🏜️
Art is in the eye of the beholder.

Que éxito Alexandra!
Renting art... that's a new level of commitment issues 🤣
