TOP 10 REASONS TO BUY ORIGINAL ARTWORKS FROM CONTEMPORARY ARTISTS:

1.  Because you will own something not only beautiful, but also absolutely unique. No one else in the world has it!

2.  Because art is eternal, and best expresses human emotions

3.  Because it is more than time for another renaissance in the arts

4.  Because there is no better way to encourage a talented artist

5.  Because it is a shame that most of the best artists are ignored in their lifetime *

6.  Because an original artwork is something that you can cherish and enjoy forever, and your children and grand-children after you

7.  Because some of the best painters of all times may be alive today

8.  Because this could be an incredibly good investment**

9.  Because this is the perfect present for someone who already has everything

10. Because prints are definitely not the same!

NOTE: If you really can't afford a painting, there are other ways to show your appreciation to artists.  For example, you can purchase a drawing.  These are usually cheaper than paintings, and can look wonderful once framed.  At least, tell these artists how viewing their work has made your life a little better.  Kind words cost you nothing, and artists need encouragement more than anything else!
