Paintings as Gifts is an excellent idea for that special occasion. At Christmas, birthdays, anniversaries why not consider a gift of a unique painting? You can visit the website of Welsh-based artist Jill Jones (www.jilljones.co.uk) for inspiration. Alternatively, you may wish to visit her gallery, West Coast Gallery, in person. You will find the gallery in the hamlet of Talbenny in Pembrokeshire, close to the glorious coastline. Take the Dale road out of the popular resort village of Little Haven and, after just over a mile, the gallery is on the left.
You will also find Jill’s paintings in several Welsh galleries. These include Life: Full Colour, Oriel Llanteglos Gallery and Pure Art Gallery.
Original paintings and prints
When choosing paintings as gifts you may select from an original artwork or a high-quality, limited edition, Giclée print. Original paintings are, of course, more expensive but, if your budget allows, are a very worthwhile investment. If you have less to spend, then a Giclée print will offer excellent value for money. Framing is available too and really makes a painting stand out.
Collectorplan: help to buy paintings as gifts
You can buy original paintings as gifts and prints using the Collectorplan loan scheme. This offers an easy way to purchase Jill’s works which are in galleries. In fact, Collectorplan is an interest-free loan to help you buy contemporary art and crafts in Wales. It offers loans from £50 to £5,000 to people who wish to buy a single piece of art or multiple artworks by living artists in Wales. Indeed, Collectorplan gives everyone the opportunity to own and enjoy art. In addition, it assists in supporting Welsh artists and the galleries that showcase their work.

For a very special gift, you may wish to commission a painting or a favourite view or place. All can be painted especially for you and you will be surprised at the affordability.
