Recently I was helping a co-worker brainstorm ideas for a gift for his new girlfriend. Of course, my first suggestion was jewelry, because what girl wouldn’t like a little bling, but he immediately shot down that idea. In fact, he shot down every suggestion I had, until I had my moment of brilliance: a piece of artwork. It takes some thought to pick out the perfect piece of art, and its message is simple: “I think you’re cool.”
Here are some paintings for sale at Fifteen Ten — Uncommon Home Antiques. The cool thing about these colorful pieces of art is that there aren’t any rock-solid prices — you can make your own offer.
Oh, and by the way, everything in the store is 50 percent off.
