When your trying to decorate a house or remodel some times one of the last things you purchase is the wall art.  Times are tight and not everyone can afford to purchase some nice art or you just run out of funds.  Well if your good on google there is no need to have to order in some expensive print when you can simply get it for FREE.

Here is how to get FREE art.  First you need to go to Google Images search.  Now you need to figure out what would you like your art to be.  Lets say you were doing nature and wanted pictures of brown bears.  Now its not like your going to go out and photograph bears in the wild. 

Go ahead and search "Brown Bear"

Now below each picture you will see the picture size.  The one above I circled is 335 x 496, ok that size might get you a 4 x 6 picture but not much larger so really its no good.  Now above the pictures I have circled "Show Options" - go head and click on that.

Once you click on that you will find this:

From here you can choose what size you would like your search to look for.  I like to go for the "Larger than" and click on the drop down menu.  So lets say I would like to find a picture of a brown bear and blow it up to a poster size 20 x 30.  I would basically want a minimum size of 2700 x 1800.  I would then choose the one option "6MP (2816 x 2112)"  As you can see there are still some awesome pictures.  Now the law says if the picture is copywriten then you can't use it but what you save is up to you.

Once you find the picture you want and it shows below the size you want then click on it and you will see this:

Click on the "See Full Size Image"

Once you do that then right click on the picture and save the image.

Here is the rule of thumb for what size you need to look for in a picture (the minimum):
8 x 10 and under..............1024 x 768
11 x 14.............................1260 x 990
12 x 18.............................1620 x 1080
16 x 20.............................1800 x 1440
20 x 30.............................2700 x 1800

Once you have saved it to your computer you can go online and order your pictures.  I just checked a few sites and here are their prices for a 20 x 30 poster (printed on photo paper)
Walmart Photo $16.86  and Snapfish $19.99

This past fall I found quite a few beautiful pictures for my house and I love them!

I think this one is my favorite - its two chipmunks

(I used Snapfish to blow them up).
