Are you wanting your own photo on canvas or just a general picture?

try ikea, they have a good selection of generic canvas pics in various sizes.
I would rather lose by a mile because i built my own car, than win by an inch because someone else built it for me.

Hi Lisa, can you post a pic of one you like fo give me an idea of what your looking for?
As you say loads on the net. Colin bought some for his bedroom from the net and the quality was good. but I can see what your saying its a bit of a risk without being able to see them before you buy.

Thats nice Lisa, try putting black and red canvasses into google. Theres a lot out there, but prices can be ridiculous depending on what your looking for  Some of the abstract canvas art online could have been done by a 2 year old and they're asking for £250 !!!!
I like this kind of stuff

i had noticed some that were rather pricey, and typically they are some of the ones i liked. But saying that if its a really nice one then why no.
Thats cool really nice sort of thing i had in mind as well , had a walk to the local art shop and they had an amazing abstract oil painting and was only 100 pounds so may be inclined to get that.

My thoughts exaclty Lisa, I think accessories can make or break a room and if you really like it then go for it!  
Pics once your rooms finished please, might give me some ideas
