Looking for a gift for your wife for her birthday? Do you have trouble choosing between an oil painting and large print photography? Well, then I am here to help in your decision making.

A portrait essentially looks at the subject that can be a human, animal, or any other inanimate object. The painting process is usually more preferred because you have the freedom to choose the composition, the mood of the portrait, the lighting preferences, clothing and movies of changes, background changes and even the surrounding colors in the portrait will be displayed.

A painting by hand gives you the opportunity to be creative and therefore requires much skill, time and dedication. You can give wings to your imagination and make the subject look more fat or thin or change the hair color. The final product ultimately becomes beautiful and personalized to your needs. The paintings are valuable not only for the money factor but also by the emotions they evoke in their character.

“Your wife loves a well-designed house and is anxious to decorate the living room for you birthday. An oil painting is more likely to beautify your home and impress guests than with a photo print. Paintings depict life with vibrance. An oil painting has real depth and unmatched style, compared with a printed photograph. They are very spectacular, impressive and valuable.

Other wonderful aspect of oil paints is that they last longer. They just have to be stored properly in an environment that has low humidity and moderate temperatures and they can last centuries. Paintings are really fantastic investments, as it can be passed from generation to generation. If properly cared for, oil paints are more durable and last indefinitely.

Frames are often used to complete the look of art, but these days you can choose to paint with or without frames. A print of the photograph requires a frame. A frameless picture looks very impressive and is an excellent example of the timeless beauty and design for a bare space.

Unlike prints, oil paintings actually add a new dimension to bare walls and are remarkable. So what will you choose for the birthday or anniversary of your beloved wife?
