Art - The Answer for the "Hard to Buy For" Question

You love them dearly but they sure do stress you out around gift buying season. Who am I talking about? That hard to buy for person on your list. Fortunately, art is a great way to please someone with something they will enjoy for years to come and you have so many choices when it comes to making a gift of art.

Fine Art Prints are the Bomb
Let's talk fine art prints as gifts. There are so many amazing choices. Major artists like Thomas Kinkade, Terry Redlin, Robert Duncan and Pino all have limited edition prints. Many people begin collecting art from getting their interest peaked in an artist or a particular style of art by getting a gift. The beautify of a limited edition is only so many are made in a series, the artist is usually involved from start to finish and they are usually signed by the artist.

It's not like someone slapped a completed painting on a copy machine and sent you the print out. It's a lot more involved than that and you're not limited to getting a print on paper, often there are prints produced on canvas. It's fun to watch the market year after year and see if your limited edition grows in value, often they do. 

See our fine art prints showcase.

Designer Decor 

For the ultra-hard to please on your gift giving list, that is also a lover of designer decor - consider the fantastic productions out of Paragon. From living rooms to kitchens to all rooms in between (including kids) there is a Paragon design to suit every taste. See the huge number of selections Paragon offers in our showcase.

Sculpture Lovers
A sculpture makes a fantastic gift and there is literally something for every taste in our gallery. From religious to fantasy to western to bronze and more. 


If you have someone that collects frogs - you can find a sculpture to make their eyes bright and their smile huge as they unwrap your gift of art. This Mark Hopkins sculpture "Found a Frog" is a great example of the humor in his work.

So Much Good Designer Framed Art, It's Hard to Choose!

Joey Duncan " Venetian"
Guess what happens when you combine world-renowned designers like Candace Olsen or Joey Duncan with classic artworks? You get the unique designs carried in the Paragon Picture Gallery.
One of the best things about Paragon pieces is that they are put together by professional designers who not only consider the artwork but also the decor the piece will be used in.
A great example is Joey Duncan's Venetian which is actually 3 framed pieces you have a lot of display choices with. Use them together to form a 9 panel design (as shown) or you can split them up and let them compliment each other on adjoining wall spaces.
Check out how numerous tints and shades coordinate and compliment each other in this piece and it could meld seamlessly into a light or darkly themed decor.


Malanta Knowles "Couture Coffee"
Another really great pairing to think about, especially if you found this page looking for a great gift for someone who loves to cook, but already has every cooking and kitchen  gadget known to man, consider the gift of art for the kitchen and there are numerous choices in the Paragon collection.

Malanta Knowlehas been seriously hard at work designing some dining themed pieces that just pop. This piece is called "Coffee Couture" and like a lot of Paragon items, the artworks come in a set and can be used together to form a square or 2 on 2 to form rectangles around a larger artwork  or even by themselves to compliment around a room. The display options are definitely not limiting.

This is just
one of numerous pieces available and there are also some excellent wine, food, and fruit themed pieces that come in a full range of subjects and color schemes.

You can see the collection, including brand new releases, in the Paragon Gallery now.
