If you’re into astronomy, I have several milky way prints for sale in the Mountains and the Night Sky Gallery. Everyone is different. Choose the nature and landscape prints that work best for your needs. If the prints are for an office, maybe fine art prints with lots of green like images from my Palouse Gallery. Green represents nature and reduces anxiety. If you lead a stressful life and need healing, fine art nature and landscape photographic prints are just what the doctor ordered. Not that creepy skeleton in the office.
