A couple’s Silver Anniversary marks an important milestone in their married life. While many people usually find the first couple of years of marriage quite idyllic, it takes a lot of hard work to make it as far as forty years. As divorce rates rise and remarriage becomes more common, the Silver Anniversary is more and more an occasion worth celebrating. If a couple you know is celebrating forty years of union, you might want to give them a portrait as a Silver Anniversary gift.

What are the advantages to giving an oil portrait painting as a Silver Anniversary gift? To begin with, an oil portrait is a unique gift. When you’ve got a couple that have been together for forty long years, it’s likely that they already have pretty much all the material comforts that need. They’ve probably got enough kitchen gadgets and linen, and you certainly don’t want to give useless presents like figurines or knick knacks that will just end up cluttering their space. An oil portrait on the other hand is sure to be treasured and appreciated because it is at once thoughtful and personal.

A portrait as a Silver Anniversary gift also has the added benefit of being versatile. You can always opt to give a traditional portrait, perhaps one derived from their wedding photograph. However, your artist can also do something fun and different. For instance, he can paint the couple as the stars in their favourite move or create a cartoon portrait instead.

An oil portrait is also a great Silver Anniversary gift because it is bound to last a long time. It’s not the sort of thing that is easily destroyed; it’s a fact that oil paintings can withstand sun and even water damage. A portrait in oil has the potential to last beyond the lifespan of the people that it depicts.

A portrait also makes a great conversation piece, especially when it’s put up for display. Make sure the portrait is extra special in terms of quality, and your gift might very well end up in a place of honor on the couple’s mantelpiece or living room wall.

For a special touch, it would also be nice to put your Silver Anniversary gift of an oil portrait inside a beautiful silver frame, or to choose hues of grey and silver for the clothes or overall look of the painting in order to remind the couple of the occasion for which it was painted Photo to Cartoon.
