U Gallery is a great addition to the online art market where you can purchase original works at reasonable prices from emerging artists. Curated by a small team of art lovers the site really takes an easy approach in helping its users find the art they're looking for. You can filter your search in various ways depending on your taste and budget. So, in essence, you're bound to find something you like. The artwork on display here crosses over so many different styles and mediums that it's hard not to leave without a few favourites. Prints begin at $20 a piece while originals can reach the thousands. New works arrive each week so it's best to visit often or simply sign up for a weekly update.

I am slowly getting back to regular programming. The pic below I found via Otis & Frank, a blog well worth the visit. I only wish I could live near a bamboo forest like this then I would be much happier. As you can probably guess I have yet to make peace with the beginning of winter, hence my tendency to post all things green lately. Somehow, I don't think even retail therapy will help at this point. One must simply endure the cold.
