Best paint at Lowes? Where to find artwork?

[craftacular.livejournal.com]

Hello! I want to paint my kitchen cobalt blue (think blue via Mary of Mag.) with light tropical greens. What is the best paint to get there? I do not want to put on coat after coat!!

Also, if you are down with the paint selection there, would you recommend a blue?

I would like to find individuals who have cool art. Besides the lj communities on here, can you recommend websites where people are selling? I unfortunately cannot pay lots and lots.

Also, I would like to fill a wall with mermaid art in the kitchen.

MMmmmmm mermaids.

Thank You!
