The decorations of the shops and plenty of sweets on the shelves reveal the one: Christmas is coming. And it means – we all are getting busy with gifts ideas for our lovely family and friends.
I’m thinking, is there any gift that can last the lifetime? Is there any gift that will remind about wonderful time you spent together? The gift that will preserve the connection between you and the one you’re giving it to? Yes, there are such kinds of gifts and art is among them.
Special and awesome! That’s how you often address your beloved ones and valuable friends in head. The supportive and nice colleagues are often on that list too . While being “special and awesome”, they make you think over and over again what to present them with? The list of potential presents may end without being even started. And you may feel confused, how you can express what these amazing people mean to you indeed.

Here is the answer – ART ART ART!
1. Think, what makes your special people unique.
Maybe she /he likes flowers and is an absolute fan of gardening? The floral paintings will be then a great gift for your special person. Or your friend enjoys the outdoor life, hiking tours, mountains and just love nature. Then a landscape painting in modern, contemporary or abstract style will be a great delight.

2. Think about their house.
How is it decorated? What style do they live in? Do they like minimalistic approach in home decorating? Or maybe they prefer the eclectic surroundings in bright colors. Think of the colors that they have at home and use it as a hint to the perfect match.

3. Think about their office.
Art at the working place can inspire and open new understandings. It can bring people closer, connect and open unexpected perspectives and views. And even more. Art can be a catalyst of the birth of happy relationships. I know, my art is often involved in beautiful stories. 🙂

5. Art is a luxury that mostly has a quite reasonable price.
In my Etsy gallery, you may find affordable originals. The limited edition giclee prints of a great quality start way under 100USD. I often refresh them with paints and then get feedback like this:
I received what was expected to be a print today and found to my delight it’s a recreation of the original painting!
Thank you very much. We love it very much.(James from Wellesley Hills)
Etude. Pleasant Talks| Етюди. Приємні розмови
6. Small means much impact.
Small paintings are great because they always find its place at home, be it on the wall, or on the shelf. Both original paintings and giclee prints in small format don’t take much space. But they bring the captivating touch and refresh the entire look of the room.

My gallery is rich in originals and giclee prints from landscape collection, ballet series, still life and nude art, but if you happen not to find the artwork that you think will suit your dearest best, there is still enough time for the commission painting. Imagine, the painting will be created exactly for the person you’d like gifting. One of a kind piece for one of kind person. Perfect match.
