Paintings of food? Meadows? Buildings? People? I have no idea!

You should go with your own taste I would think. Maybe that's the dog
prints or the velvet Elvis.

Maybe you don't really want paintings, but just prints. You can find
them at many places for good prices. Black and white or colored photos
can look good. Also, framed mirrors.

In my dining room I have a large old mirror with hooks to hang hats on
(Mission style), an old black and white photo from an ancestor's
schoolroom and a colorful painting I made. Other than the clock and
plants in the windows, that is all. It all goes with the old oak
farmhouse table.
