Last Sunday I went to a place called Eastern Market. I highly recommend visiting to anyone who has the opportunity. It is an awesome outdoor market that I bought a few paintings at. It is like a giant outdoor flea market, but instead of people selling junky old stuff that no one wants, it is full of artists selling their creations. There are a ton of artists selling paintings, drawings, and various things like that but there are also people selling pottery/ceramics and blown glass. There are even a lot of people selling beautiful antique wooden furtniture and little wooden carvings. The best part is you get to haggle the sellers on their prices which is always fun. I bought two paintings off of one of the artists there. He is incredibly talented and creates beautiful pieces. I could have bought everything at his booth - especially because he was very nice and let me talk him down big time on his prices. Here is a picture of one of the paintings I bought to help me remember my time in D.C. (don't mind the picture quality. I'm too lazy to take a better one... and no this is not hung very crookedly on the wall, it is just sitting on a table and I took a crooked picture.)
