Need something special this year?

Christmas seems to get more commercial, more predictable and more boring every year. Wouldn’t it be great if you could add a bit of sparkle to Christmas? Wouldn’t it be greater if that sparkle kept going all through the year? And beyond?

Get in quick and you still might have time to do just that. There’s an amazing collection of calendars, cards, t-shirts and, best of all, framed prints – just ready to brighten up not just your Christmas but life after the festive season too.

Shipping Deadlines for Christmas

Are you sick of Xmas gifts that lose their interest by Boxing day? Want something that delights not for days or weeks or even months, but for years and years and years? A Christmas gift rather than an Xmas gift?

It’s time you looked at framed artwork – something that stays fresh and uplifting not only through the Christmas season but through many Christmas seasons.

Mel Brackstone is an artist who can deliver just such a gift. Images that you will adore not just in the Santa-Season, not just this year, but forever. Let yourself be touched by her magnificent creations.

Les’ Lake, Twizel

Call it ‘Autumn’ or call it ‘Fall’ – you’re definately retiring to heaven with this one. The colours and mood is comparable to one of the Great Masters, but in this image you have a fragment of the real world captured and preserved forever.

Serenity

We all know only too well how the hustle and bustle of life can get you down. You need somwhere cool, somewhere calm – an escape from the frantic pace of 21st Century activity into a world where you can truly live. Here is that world. This image takes us away from modern stress and the burnout of the worlds clamouring voices into a new reality – a reality of peace. This is serenity, and this is where you deserve to be.

ARCHED

Four flat walls. Boring boring boring. Life is a box and you can’t get out of it. Everywhere is the same, designed for cost, efficiency, simplicity and downright blandness. But this image adds a wonderful quality
to the blandness of everyday housing. Here is a room you can walk into – your very own Hall of the Mountain King, your personal respite at Rivendell – here is where you would live if only you could. And through the wonderful artwork of Mel, you can. This is your window into the Grand, into the Beautiful, into the Unique.

Delights of d’Light

The big thing about Art is that it is always so hard to define. What is art – what is not? Ask a hundred people and you’ll get a hundred and one answers – which means it certainly isn’t rocket science!

I would draw your attention to the work of an amazing artist known on RedBubble simply as ellamental

Suddenly, your whole view of art is about to change, because the work of ellamental engages, it stimulates and it teases the senses. It fits into no known category. It goes beyond abstract in its ability to draw on, at times, common objects and simple colour to create a landscape that defies definition.

More of the Same

There’s nothing ’samey’ about this piece, despite its title. There is here a golden teasing of brilliance, of colour, of form and of shape. This is the sort of image you could hang upon your wall and stare at for years – never quite able to drink in it’s complexities, drawn ever more to it’s vibrance.

Hotdogs & Cherries

Burning with a tantalizing complexity, we look at this wonderful piece, we try to control it, to analyse it – as if to force it into some simplistic logical flow. Yet it is too complex, too alive, too vibrant to allow this. It cannot be boxed, nor explained, nor broken down. It is light allowed to be itself revealing its own nature drawn from the chaos of creation.
