Mother’s Day is coming up!
Mother’s Day is a time to celebrate the many mothers, grandmas and mothers-to-be up and down the country who devote so much of their time and energy to making sure their families are happy, healthy, loved and inspired.
In this blog post we bring you a selection of paintings we think would make beautiful presents for these special women and we hear from the artists themselves as to why an original painting makes such a great gift.

Original art as the perfect gift
An original painting can make for a beautiful gift for Mother’s Day or for any special occasion which requires a personal touch.
According to local painter Natasha Dadush, original art is a timeless present.
“I would really cherish any piece of art I received as a gift because it is a thing of beauty and emotion.”
“Art is timeless. I would really cherish any piece of art I received as a gift.”

According to local painter Vania Goshe, an original painting makes a good Mother's day present, because it is unique.
“She will look at it on the wall and always remember the moment and the emotion when she received it and that will warm her heart.”

According to British-Maltese plein-air artist Andrew Smith, nothing makes a home a happy place like an original painting.
“It’s something which the family can hold dear.”

“It represents someone’s dedication, passion, creativity, time and commitment.”

Maltese artist Jo Dounis explains that original art provokes strong emotions in the viewer.
“Sharing art with someone strengthens a bond with that person on a deeply personal level, even more so if that person holds a special place in your heart.”

According to Gozitan landscape painter Christopher Saliba an original painting makes a good gift since it is “a unique form of expression which the new owner can relate or bond with.”

“When you give a work of art as a gift you can rest assured that you're giving a unique piece,” says Maltese artist Mark Schembri. “The artist can't paint another one exactly the same. There is no mass production or soulless industrial gadgetry involved, just an artist's talent and soul translated into an original image.”

American artist Marianne Ogden says “Flowers are lovely, but an original painting is much more personal and becomes more precious over the years.”
