Don't forget to consider the space in which you plan to hang your image when deciding between color and grayscale. Black and white canvas prints work well with any background, but add an eye-catching, dramatic flair when hung on boldly hued walls.

They also make spectacular gifts.

PICKING THE PERFECT GIFT

There are lots of ways you can figure out the best art-related gift to give:

• Snoop around their house. Not into drawers and closets, but try to get a feel for the lucky person's decorating scheme. If they like delicately wallpapers and pastels, consider choosing an image with pale colors. When transformed to black and white, it will feature a range of pretty grays.

• If you're unable to browse their home, chat with people who know them well. Do they have a favorite city they always visit, or dream of visiting? Maybe they would love a cityscape or skyline of that special place, to hang in the hall, or above the bed.

• Think about their hobbies or interests. A guitarist would love a picture from a favorite concert, or the sheet music from their favorite song. A gardener would be tickled pink to receive a close up image of one of their own flowers.

• Once you've settled on the type of image, consider the presentation. Do they already have a number of canvases hanging in the home? If so, you might choose to stick with that display, or choose one of our beautiful canvas floater frames to accompany the print.

• Pay attention as you're being given the tour (or if you're there all the time, ask for another one!). Do they mention an area they wish was better decorated, or tell you about a color scheme they're planning? If they are regretful of a certain blank wall, try to sneak a measurement so you can order an artwork of the perfect size.

• If you don't have access to the perfect image, or for any other reason you're unable to select a canvas print or frame, why not let them pick their own, on you! We offer Gift Certificates in custom denominations. We can send the recipient the code via email, or print a physical certificate and mail it straight to them!

ORDERING

Your canvas art will be printed using high quality, archival inks and Epson ink jet printers. Once it is coated with a protective UV- and scratch-resistant semi-matte spray, it will be stretched and affixed around a custom-made pine wood frame. Hanging hardware is attached, and your order is securely packaged and shipped to you.
