Cookie it's a barry hilton original

Just had a look at Barry Hilton and although I don't know what budget you have his work seems reasonably priced.
That amount of money sat in bank account could easily disappear on bits and bobs and you would have nothing to show for it.

My personal view would be if you think the painting will make you smile and think of your gran then it would be a good buy. Art is best bought to keep but could be a nice college fun for the little darlings in years to come.

Yes this forum is about money saving but what we spend that money on is a personal choice. I think granny would be best remembered by buying something special rather than the temptation of having the money sat into an account where it will end up being dipped into.

I put my dad off paying £600 for a piece of art when the artist was then on regional tv the next month and immediately a 0 was added to painting.

Buy it if you love it enough.

Hi VT i totally agree with you as i have paintngs in my lounge ( some oils from my Granfather god rest him ) and although those ones are only memories for me and the family and not worth well i dunno he done the bat out if hell album cover for his daughter(all his paintings where in oil) and i have the last supper and Kilwinning Abbey to name a couple and i have others of value from know painters but i don't come in here and say all that when we have single mums scraping around to feed the kids that wa s why i was getting angry with the comments about can i afford this pic when i see others in here thanking us for helping to feed the kids.
I have deleted the posts as i should have ignored them and i apologies for any offence to anyone.
