Valentine’s Day, named after Saint Valentine, a Roman Catholic priest in the 3rd Century has developed over the years into this day of love and not just love for couples, but why not love for all!
So what to buy your loved one for Valentine’s Day? Always an issue when we’re faced with so many options. Time to think outside the box! Why not buy and invest in a gift that will last a lifetime? To inspire and remind someone every day how much you care? Investing in art for Valentine’s Day makes so much more sense, the options are endless! Of course hearts and words of love are wonderful but with so many subject matters in art your imagination is the only limitation. A landscape from your perfect romantic holiday or longed for break could work well too! Artist Brian Parker’s wants to aesthetically please his viewers with his contemporary works, perfect!

Many artists, of course, have used love over the years to inspire, motivate and tantalise their viewers. Tracey Emin’s neon installation at St. Pancras above Paul Day’s ‘The Meeting Place’ bronze couple is just beautiful – such a gift of love to all of us who see it. Gustav Klimt’s ‘The Kiss’ is another obvious choice celebrating complete all encompassing love. Such images are so popular that considering the option of buying art for your Valentine does not have to mean spending a fortune. The consideration of buying a framed poster and giving this as your Valentine gift will surely bring a smile. Visit the inspiring V & A museum and buy a print of E.H Shepard’s pencil drawing from Winnie-the-Pooh of Piglet blowing dandelions, ‘This year, next year, sometime or never’

Buying art is a pleasure, whether discovering new artists or investing in the established, visiting art gallery shops, local galleries or art fairs, browsing the internet. There are so many areas to explore to find the perfect thoughtful gift.
