Vernacular Architecture Prints

Vernacular architecture prints feature buildings that by and large don’t reflect any architectural style. Vernacular is a functional design. By and large these are buildings that were designed for a purpose whether simply shelter or otherwise. That’s not to say that vernacular architecture is purely functional. Vernacular can simply be architecture that is uniquely designed and does not fit neatly in a particular bucket. In fact as this wall art suggests, I’d say there’s great beauty to be found in the vernacular style.

  • Tropical Colors of Nicaragua - Vivid San Juan del Sur Print by Mark Tisdale

    The Tropical Colors Of Coastal Nicaragua

    $24.00

    Imagine how dull the world would be without tropical colors! I have written before about our collective changing tastes where color is concerned.

  • Red Fisherman's House In Salem Massachusetts - New England Print by Mark Tisdale

    Old Red Fisherman’s House – New England Art Print

    I think maybe it’s something inherent in the artist’s nature to create stories as well as art. It is another creative discipline after all.

  • Smith Plantation - Roswell Georgia - Antebellum Architecture Print by Mark Tisdale

    Smith Plantation – Roswell Georgia Art

    $24.00

    I’ve mentioned before that during the years I lived in the Atlanta area, Roswell was one of my favorite places to visit. The Smith Plantation is a beautiful illustration of why I liked the area.
