I’ve been working with Art.com, and they’ve just released several gift guides for the holidays. I’m usually drawn to a quirky, modern style, but today I’m sharing my take on traditional art.
I chose each of these paintings (classics by the like of Manet and Whistler) because they excite me, but also because I could see them appealing to a wide range of people. I kept family members in mind, asking myself “would my mom like this? My grandma, or my uncle?” as my litmus test.

I must say that #4 is my absolute favorite. That is just the best to snuggle a little one. It made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. :) I’d love to receive that as a gift.
What I love about it is that it was painted in the late 1800s, but it still feels intimate and true today. Timeless.
I really liked number 4 as well – and when I clicked the link I got ”
Sorry, this product is no longer available” :(
Oh no! I thought it may have sold out since I linked to it, but I just checked and it was still available, so I’m not sure what happened.
Aha – I think it is because it is automatically redirecting me to the British site, whatever I try to tell it to do. Ah well. I can still look at the picture here!
I absolutely love all of these.
As orignials they’re works of art. As reproductions they’re more “hotel art” than art. I’d rather go for something original. Just one persons opinion,
