At the time of this writing it is just 181 days until that magical day we call Christmas. A day eagerly anticipated by many people. Not only is it a day of great religious significance to Christians, it is also a day to celebrate family. On this day we look forward to family traditions, seasonal food, and gifts wrapped in festive paper just begging to be opened.
Speaking of gifts, Art makes a great gift! Here are 3 reasons why:
1 It is made by human hands. In our industrialized society, less and less is made by human hands. There is something magical about a handmade creation. Each creation has a piece of that artist’s heart attached to it forever. It is a unique one of a kind creation made just for you.
2 Art is relatively inexpensive. Yes I know some pieces can cost thousands of dollars but not all art is priced as high. Usually you can find something in your budget. My family of four can easily spend $100+ on a meal at a nice restaurant and at the end of the meal, the food is gone and so is the money. Usually for the price of two or three family meals you can get a quality piece of art and it will last a lifetime!
3 Memories of treasured moments can be captured for future generations. With proper care art will last for generations and can easily become a family heirloom to be passed down. It is a timeless gift.
Start planning now if you intend to give the gift of Art. It takes time to create art. Sometimes it takes a lot of time. If you wait until November to order art you may have waited too late. Last year I had to keep a waiting list of art orders and I had to turn down quite a few requests simply because there was no way I could complete the art and get it shipped in time for the holiday. This made me sad for the people that waited until the last minute. Don’t wait. Start thinking about it now.
I just completed this lovely graphite drawing for a client. The deep love between the two is undeniable. If you are interested in creating a custom piece for that special someone in your life then check out my Etsy Shop and get a head start on the holidays!
