There are sixteen paintings in the range: gardens, water, golf, walks, reading and the open road. The eight on this page are grouped by how the retired person in your family spends their days. The rest of the range is sorted by format.
Paintings by what fills the week now
- The allotment or the garden. The Allotment is beans, dahlias and a weathered shed in high summer, in loose watercolour.
- Golf. The Nineteenth Fairway is a golfer walking a sunlit parkland fairway with long shadows, in green and gold oil.
- Fishing. Still Waters is a lone angler on a misty lake at dawn. The First Cast is a fly fisher mid-cast on a clear upland river.
- Reading, and staying in. The Reading Chair is an armchair, a pile of books and a steaming cup by a garden window.
- Walking. Mountain Morning looks out over layered blue mountains at sunrise from a heather ridge.
- Driving somewhere with no hurry. The Vintage Tourer is a classic open-top car at an overlook above a patchwork valley.
- The seaside. Harbour Morning is a fishing harbour at low tide, with colourful boats and lobster pots.
If they retired this year
The name print sets their name, profession, years of service and workplace under a fixed Happy Retirement headline. That headline suits someone whose last day was this year. For a dad who retired a decade ago, one of the paintings will sit better on the wall. Retirement gifts for dad covers the name print in detail.
Formats
The paintings come as posters from A4 to 70x100 cm, framed posters at A3 or A2 in black or natural wood, canvas from 30x40 to 60x80 cm, framed canvas from 30x40 to 50x70 cm in black, dark wood or natural wood, metal from 30x40 to 50x70 cm and wood at 30x40 or 40x50 cm. Each painting also comes as an 11oz mug or a 500ml bottle. Framed art or canvas explains the difference between the two wall finishes.
