Etsy roundup

bright, bold and beautiful color

Etsy is an online marketplace where hundreds of thousands of creative people from more than 150 countries sell their handmade crafty goodness. Each week, we're featuring a handful of our favorite items in our Etsy Roundup. On the menu this week: Beautiful watercolor paintings and prints that splash color onto your walls.

Watercolor paintings and prints brighten up your wall with whimsical and beautiful designs. This week's Etsy roundup features four beautiful pieces of art from Laura Trevey's Etsy shop, Bright, Bold & Beautiful. You can find Laura on Facebook and Twitter.

Laura was a featured seller in our wall art Etsy roundup over the summer. Her shop is bursting at the seams with stunning watercolor paintings and prints -- so many that it was difficult to choose just four. Beyond her incredible talent as an artist, Laura is also a successful blogger at Bright, Bold & Beautiful and the author of smART Business, a how-to book about marketing a business for artists and crafters (available for purchase on iTunes, too). But for now, let's focus on her art!
