    Check hellosanantonio.com there may be an artist's who's style of painting you may like. Check to make sure the artist style is consistant and that they show a good enough body of work for you to look at. Don't be in a hurry and take the time to study the artist's work to see if what he/she has done is what you are looking for in a painting. Most of the artist's on the site i mentioned reside in San Antonio, texas and some are emerging artist that may be willing to give you a good price.
