April 22nd is the perfect day to actually put to work all those environment-saving tips and tricks you've heard about. Earth Day, just like Mother's Day and Father's Day, is all about celebrating that mother of us all - the planet!
And what better way to celebrate the world than by hanging up some relevant art, or giving some as a thoughtful, stylish gift? Our canvas prints are made to last, so you'll be helping the planet by purchasing something that won't need to be replaced in five years! (Our canvases can last up to 100 years if properly cared for.)
At KeenART Media, we are proud to do our part for the earth. We print samples on leftover paper, use the final bits of ink on art projects, recycle all paper, and make smart cuts (that means cutting frame moulding and cardboard for boxes in the most logical way, that allows for the leftovers to be used for another project)!
To get you in the Earth Day spirit, here's a bit of that iconic song by Canadian singer Joni Mitchell, "Big Yellow Taxi":
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot
With a pink hotel, a boutique
And a swinging hot spot
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got
Till it's gone
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot
They took all the trees
Put 'em in a tree museum
And they charged the people
A dollar and a half just to see 'em
PICKING THE PERFECT GIFT
It's always more fun to receive a creative, personal gift than a generic one. And it's usually just as much fun for the gift giver to pick out a really special, meaningful present.
Recognize the great outdoors with your Earth Day canvas print. You've got your topic decided, but it's important to consider the recipient's personal style when choosing your gift. Here's some tips:
- 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 delicate wallpapers and pastels, play to this theme and present them with a beautiful rainbow or a lovely close up of a flower. If they're more into bold colors and patterns, a vivid sunset sky or a view of Earth from space could be just the thing.
- Bring up home decor-related conversations, and then listen. Does she mention an area she wishes was better decorated? Does he tell you about a color scheme he's planning? If a blank wall is a subject of despair, try to sneak a measurement so you can order an artwork of the perfect size.
- If you're unable to browse yourself, make use of your own knowledge or chat with other people who know them. What hobbies do they enjoy? Opt for a stunning mountani vista for the avid mountain climber, a sea-blue flax field for a gardener, or a beautiful European landscape for the serious traveller.
- Once you've settled on the 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 pick out one of our beautiful canvas floater frame to accentuate the picture.
- 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!
Whatever your budget or relationship with the recipient, put some serious thought into the gift. Your efforts will be recognized and appreciated.
