One good thing about recession is that art is now relatively affordable. It costs over £100 to fill up the car with petrol and 50p for a second class stamp, both of which vanish into a black hole an instant, but you can still buy art which will endure. Here's some great bargains currently in the gallery for under £500.
HELEN FAY's etchings are popular across the UK and beyond. They're fun and of a wonderful quality, especially her set of Penguins. This is 'Attention' and it only costs £245 framed.

For Under £500 you can get two vases by Lotte Glob. Danish born Lotte Glob has been on of the most remarkable figures in Scottish art since the 1970s, arguably with a closer relationship to the norther landscape than any other Scottish artists. She also has a vast international following. Here's one of her cylinder vases - £250
It's even possible to pick-up one of ALLAN MACDONALD's paintings for £500. This is just after he one a major prize at the Discerning Eye exhibition in London. Here's a small sea painting which can be yours framed for £500. A similar but larger sister painting to the Discerning Eye's prize winner is a bit more more, but is still a great buy at £1,300 including hand finished frame.
MADELINE MACKAY's etchings have the timeless quality that exists in all the best art works. Here is her lithograph 'Curlew.' MacKay is a new graduate from Duncan of Jordanstone (Dundee) Art School, but her work is already being noticed.
This is a lovely little ROBERT MCAULAY painting. It's just over £500 but worth the extra little bit.
I always enjoy hanging work by Peter White. There's a quiet beauty and amazing surface. We've shown his work for over fifteen years and he has developed a large and loyal following... the perfect Christmas present and this one is £430. We've got a fantastic large book too.
'The Blue Hour' by Jane MacNeill. There is always an other-worldliness in MacNeill's work - part our tangible world and part something else. It's snip at £240.
One of the gallery's solo shows next year is of SAM CARTMAN's work. Here's 'Usan Study.' It's a little oil. One of Cartman's great strengths is his engaging empty spaces and qualities of paint. This little one is £500.
If you have a budget bigger than £500.... well how about a lifesize crocodile by Helen Denerley or the Winged Figure from GERALD LAING's 'Axis Mundi' or even ALAN MACDONALD's 'The Carriage of Figaro?'
