With the gift-giving season upon us, we are reminded of how art makes for an incredibly memorable gift...especially when it is tied to a moment or memory. Here are a few ideas to get you thinking about what would make a super special gift for your loved ones.
Their Happy Place
Everyone has somewhere that makes their heart sing. For some it's the view from their beach chair or the sway of seagrasses from the dock. For others, its that breathtaking view from the top of a mountain or from that stream while fishing. Or maybe it is the view of the night sky while on a midnight walk.
What works of art will remind the art-lover in your life of the places that are special to them? Here are a few ideas!
If the salt air and vibrant colors of the marsh at sunset are their thing, consider the work of Carlyn Janus. Larger works on canvas (starting at $850) to smaller works on paper, both framed and unframed (from $175). See and shop HERE.
Nighttime walks with the stars above and the sound of crickets is something special. Consider this small work (7" x 5" | $200) from Emma Ballou! Find all of Emma's work HERE.
Mountain streams and rhododendron forests come to life in the colorful and energetic landscapes of Jeremy Russell. Explore works to take their breath away this holiday HERE. Works starting at $800.
The Idea of Home
In today's world, we move around a lot. For many of us, the memory and idea of home is a treasure. Why not give a work of art that reminds them of Home.
Susan Melrath's paintings of houses and barns seem to remind everyone of home. Whether it's a family home or the idea of childhood views from the bus, there is a sense of nostalgia in each piece. Explore Susan's paintings HERE. Works start at $650.
