A Year of Painted Places: Christmas Gifts for Art Lovers
Some gifts get opened, admired and put away. A calendar gets looked at every single day, which makes it one of the few presents that keeps giving all year.
Our wall calendar is back for its second year, with twelve of Tony Parsons' paintings to carry you through 2027. It's a small-batch edition of just 50 copies, and once they're gone, they're gone.
Twelve months, twelve places
Tony paints the places people love: harbours, coves, piers and mountain light. The calendar takes you on a year-long journey through his work, from the Cornish coast to the French Alps, with stops in Jersey and Brighton along the way.
The cover features St Michael's Mount in Cornwall. Inside, each month gives a full page to one of Tony's panoramic oil paintings, reproduced in A3 so you can see the brushwork and the colour.
A calendar you'll actually use
We designed it for real, busy households, not just for the wall:
A3 landscape format (297 × 420mm), with the wiro binding along the top edge
Big date boxes with room for appointments, birthdays and school runs
UK bank holidays marked, with weeks starting on Monday
Uncoated art paper that takes pen and pencil beautifully
Limited to 50 copies
We've kept the run deliberately small. That makes it a genuinely special gift for anyone who already loves Tony's work, and a lovely introduction for someone who hasn't discovered it yet.
The Christmas Gift Bundle
For someone really special, the Christmas Gift Bundle brings everything together:
The limited-edition 2027 wall calendar
A set of six greeting cards featuring Tony's paintings
A £50 Gift of Art card to put towards an art print or hand-embellished Special Edition of their choice
They get a year of paintings on the wall, cards to send, and then the fun of choosing a piece of art to keep. The gift card is valid until 31 October 2027, so there's no rush to decide.
More gift ideas for art lovers
An art print of a place that matters. Many of Tony's paintings capture real places, from Cornish coves and Sussex villages to Greek island harbours. A print of somewhere they've holidayed, grown up or fallen in love with makes a deeply personal present.
A Special Edition print. Each one is individually hand-embellished by Tony using Aquarelle coloured pencils or graphite, then signed and titled. No two are quite the same.
A gift card for the hard-to-buy-for. Let them choose their own favourite. Gift cards can be posted or sent straight to their inbox, which is perfect if you've left it late.
