It’s time to once again deck the halls with boughs of holly to prepare for the festive holiday season. But what if you’re not feeling very jolly anymore about the same decorations? Elevate your decorating experience with classy original art. Thoughtfully placed, these unique pieces will bring the wow factor to your next holiday gathering.
This adorable tongue-in-cheek name gives attention to two cardinals relaxing on an evergreen branch. Their bright festive plumage almost glistens like gemstones thanks to the subtle luminary qualities of oil paint on ivory. It’s a great addition to a cardinal collector’s repertoire. It can be displayed anytime you’re in the mood for a winter wonderland.
The weather outside may be frightful, but this cozy cabin looks delightful. Actually, the atmosphere in this oil painting is so serene, it seems to be more of a silent night if you don’t mind the cold! A twinkling moon breaks through the snow clouds for a welcome respite against the gray sky. The warm cabin fireplace provides a pleasant transition from the sky to the ground for the naked eye.
It’s not every day you get to see a gorgeous painting that celebrates Hanukkah. Ideal for home decorating or gifting to a special loved one, this striking oil painting seems to burst off the page with rich cultural celebrations of light and hope. The bright abstract shapes remarkably remind oneself of dreidels, candles, and even fireworks. Their cheery presence contrasts against the sharp black night.
Angels are often messengers of comfort and hope in the Christmas season. Couple that with a seashell to remind you of relaxing sunny beach days, and you have a winning combination for heavenly coastal decorating. The play of soft shadows and light in this oil painting provide a dramatic touch that is subtle enough to be enjoyed any time of the year.
Showcasing your prized figurines is a fun way to decorate for the holidays. Why not add a beautiful little puppy to your collection? Disney fans will remember that the puppy Lady from Lady and the Tramp was a Christmas gift to Darling. This replica porcelain figurine gives a delightful nod to the scene in the original movie.
For an interior holiday look with greater staying power, try decorating with natural elements such as snow, woodlands, and animals commonly associated with winter. Whitetails in Winter is a handsome oil painting that is well balanced with neutral and cool tones that coordinate in the home or office well after the holiday season.
All of these fun holiday pieces are available at Seaside Art Gallery year round. Get your home or office decorated with timeless style. Orders can be placed online and over the phone. If you have questions about shipping, just ask the Seaside Art Gallery staff.

Whether it’s the merry month of May, an early holiday gift, or just because, it’s always a wonderful time to show your mom, grandma or mother figure how much you love them with art!
Maybe you’ve seen a miniature painting before, but have you witnessed a tiny sculpture or mini with three-dimensional details so small, you would find them with a magnifying glass?
The awards for the 35th International Miniature Art Show have been announced. This year’s winners celebrate the incredible talent, creativity, and detail that make miniature art one of the most captivating forms of original art.
