Bedtime Stories by Ilya Volykhine Painting, Oil on Canvas 59.1 inch (150.1 cm) x 39.4 inch (100.1 cm) $8,916

Secrets, as long as they aren’t mean, harmful or dangerous, can be kind of fun. Secrets bring back memories of giggling with friends in school or whispering on the phone late at night. Although I’ve never seen or read the DaVinci Code, there is something kind of fascinating about secret ideas hidden in artwork – they can mean so much to some people, while others just see a straightforward painting. 

Drowned Temple by Bronle Crosby Painting, Oil on Canvas 48.0 inch x 36.0 inch $4,470

A tiny hidden meaning in a piece of art can make a great and personal gift. The hidden message can be as big or as little as you choose. The number of birds on a fence can match up to a special date, or maybe a color brings back memories of a special dress. Perhaps, even more simply, the image reminds you of a memory close to your heart.

Art with meaning can be tailored to any taste. If you are gaga for watercolors, then find artwork in the medium with a secret reference that you enjoy. If collages are more your speed, choose an original collage that tickles your fancy. Art can be as versatile as the meaning you can ascribe to it.
