Easy Art?

I said art, but that's up for your interpretation.  I recently went to Chicago on vacation, and saw some amazing things there.  It truly is an amazing city to visit, and I loved every minute of it. One thing I noticed walking around the city was how many amazing statues and sculptures they have (outside of the great architecture).  I digress. 

I took the below photos with my iPhone.  It's hard to ask everyone you're with (or just my boyfriend), to stop and pause while I take pictures of absolutely everything and hope for something creative to put up in my apartment.  It's better to put up something I took, than buy a photo that means something to someone else.

My favorite picture from the weekend was of one of the lions outside of the Chicago Art Institute. 

I took several like this, as well as this naked Native American on a horse.  He wasn't wearing pants, so I tried to keep it clean.

Next, I blew up the pictures and made the both sepia toned through Kodak.com.  The I took two 8.5"x11" frames I spray painted gold, and hung them in my staircase that is epically bare. 

It adds a nice touch!
