Buying a print.

[sandrajo]

I want to buy a nice print for a friend as a house warming gift, can anyone suggest a nice print to hang in the dining area? She loves bright colours.

Hm - art is such a personal thing, are you sure she will like it?

As spudqueen says art can be a very personal thing. Why not do some asking around her family to try & find if there is any thing she especially likes. You can always ask them to keep quiet if you want it to be a suprise & its better then getting a print she might hate.

My friends always like me to buy them pints of Carling.

Oh, PRINT! Ooops....

There's no guarantee that they're going to like your choice of art.

But buy a print of a UK artist and find out a bit about them so you can inform your friend which in turn will make the art all the more appealing. And make sure the print is a good size!

I like the work of Richard Tuff:-
