I find that people who buy paintings for relatives tend to have very specific things in mind when they go shopping. It is worthwhile to find a painting suitable for the area that really needs it. Sometimes, colors are something to consider.
The content is appropriate to be considered. If you are buying paintings for people with very different tastes, it is important to keep them at the forefront of your mind. The drawings of chickens may be good for one relative. But not for others
Consider the size limitations when buying paintings for relatives. If your aunt Eloise lives in a small apartment, buying paintings for her that requires the whole wall is not a good idea. It is a good idea to take a look at the paintings to go before you buy.
Color may be an important factor in buying paintings. If the color conflicts with the decoration of your relatives, they may not be excited about hanging. If the color is correct, it will hang on the wall for a very long time.
Religious paintings are difficult to buy for friends. But easy to buy for relatives Moreover, you know where your religion operates and what symbols are most relevant to it. The Jewish symbol disappeared in the Christian family and vice versa.
Buying paintings for relatives based on previous artists' works is a great way to find great art. If your relatives have bought art from artists they like and they hung prominently in their home, then it's a safe bet to buy another piece from the same artist.
Sometimes buying a good painting for relatives also has a point of inspiration like a holiday. If your parents have just visited Paris, beautiful paintings of Paris may be a good choice. It is good to know what landmarks they like best and find out what they represent.
I have some relatives that I bought paintings because of their interest in the Middle Ages. I found a great copy of a work that was popular at that time. The purchase of reproductions is acceptable if the drawings are prohibited in the price.
There is my aunt who loves to often buy paintings for relatives. Her heart is in the right place. But she has a hard time choosing the right painting for the recipient She bought a cute painting that was baroque for her daughter and didn't suit the feeling of her home.
The landscape paintings done in a romantic style look very good in my uncle's house. I bought him a picture of Monet that he hung in his studies. I enjoy watching him study that drawing.
My little sister asks everyone who buys her paintings to stay away from Van Gogh. She doesn't like Cezanne and Gauguin equally. I'm not sure why she feels serious about modern and contemporary art.
I like the cubist drawings by Kandinsky. My husband bought me a model of Kandinsky that I kept in my nest. I can check and see a lot of things. The paintings come to life and I feel a lot of emotions when I look in.
