Cape Cod, Maine oil paintings: Specials on Seascapes

To help you through the winter I'm offering a limited time special for my blog visitors only at this time (though that may change) on my smallest seascapes works: 11 x 14 or smaller unframed.

Go to soniahalefineart.com to view all the seascapes.

If you wish for me to frame one of the paintings, let me know.

These are really special paintings: the photographs never do justice to the subtle tones, colors and details of the originals. I am actually attached to them, so I highly recommend you purchase one soon before I change my mind.

Email me to secure your painting, as they are original works there is only one of each.

They make lovely gifts for yourself, Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, Birthdays and Anniversary Gifts.

To send me an email to hold one of them (there is only one of each), please click here soniahale1@gmail.com.

Luxury Christmas: Luxury Gifts for Men who have Everything!

So you have been thinking for weeks of what would be a unique gift for the man in your life who has everything! (Anniversary, Christmas, Birthday...)

He has all the finest clothes he can wear, first rate sporting goods, all the lovely luxuries in life and more. What else would be special? I would like to suggest that a wonderful, memorable gift for such a person is a portrait. This can be painted from existing photographs or we can plan a time for me to visit to make a quick sketch and take photographs. It could be a portrait of him or of your child(ren).

Luxury Gifts: Best Anniversary Gift, being thankful for ones Loved Ones

While we are all enjoying the winter holidays, some will be looking ahead to special anniversaries next year in 2016. Sometimes the best anniversary gift that art lovers can buy from my site are custom oil portraits for their loved ones. These can be gift certificates for a certain type of painting, for example a 3/4 figure oil portrait that would include hands in a seated or standing figure painting of their spouse.

Another option is to have one's children painted for a spouse. This is a very popular gift and can be done with new photos I take (and some quick sketches done at that time) or from existing photographs. Sometimes there is a treasured photo in the home that works into a lovely custom commissioned portrait. In that case I get approval from the photographer to paint the image.
