Scenic artwork has been around for centuries and is a popular subject amongst artists and buyers. Regardless of the location, season, or lack of activity, this art subject never grows old.  Scenic art shows the beauty of nature through the perspective of the artist creating the piece. The places we pass everyday and don't even look twice at comes alive when put into art. These pieces make great decor for offices and bedrooms, they bring a peaceful feel to the room.

The Brain and Nature

It is a well-known fact that a natural environment promotes positive emotions.  Nature is non judgmental, always perfectly balanced, and as pure as a newborn baby.  While our lives evolve into the fast-paced technical world, it is soothing to know that some things never change.  Scenic art almost feels like going home again, before the craziness of adulthood began.

Bring Back Memories

Memories often have a lot to do with scenic painting selection.  Childhood visits to the beach or mountains can tap into that buried subconscious and open the senses of sounds, smells, and touch. Personal to individual tastes, scenes that recreate the past deliver peace in quiet, private areas, like bedrooms or dens.

Aesthetic Appeal with Changing Seasons

Many artists are able to capture the vivid colors and feel of spring, summer, fall and winter.  Select a favorite style and redecorate living areas with appropriate seasons.  William Vanscoy, for instance, is an artist that weaves emotion into nature, making visitors stop and listen to their heart and soul.  Intriguing scenes of different seasons make these paintings perfect in living areas.

Kitchen Atmosphere

Everyone loves the comforting feel of a cozy kitchen.  Fruit and flower still life is not a necessity in bringing a natural goodness to this popular room.  Artist Diane Romanello brings an uplifting spirit of friendship in her natural exhibit of 'Among Friends I' for spring and summer, while Stephen Lyman is spectacular with the winter scene 'A Walk in the Woods.'

July is already here, that means it’s time to scream for ice cream! July was set as National Ice Cream Month in 1984 by President Ronald Regan. He also set the third Sunday of the July to be National Ice Cream Day only right here in the United States.  This fun national holiday is a great excuse to sit back and relax while you enjoy a few (big) scoops of ice cream. If you're really in love with ice cream, check out some of our ice cream artwork before they all melt away!

Catherine Jones’ Malt Shop Collection

Catherine Jones, an artist who was born into a family of creative artists, creates paintings of the vintage styled ice cream shops. Her malt shop prints feature vintage advertising for small ice cream shops. Jones has a few other art pieces that include other frozen treats. Some of these are strawberry ice cream cones, hot fudge sundaes, chocolate shakes and root beer floats. Catherine Jones creates art work that will make you appreciate ice cream and its history.

Virginia A. Roper’s Ice Cream Parlor Collection

Catherine Jones is not the only artist to ever pay tribute to malt shops and diners. Artist Virginia A. Roper has previously tried her hand at spotlighting ice cream parlor treats. She has a series of five prints that showcase sundaes, cones and a delicious-looking, three-scoop banana split.  Yum! Like Catherine's pieces, these ice cream prints by Roper also have a vintage look with their light colors and patterned frames.

Andy Warhol Ice Cream Dessert Collection

Andy Warhol is a well known artist for his pop art creations. He also has a few ice cream pieces in a dessert collection as well. Created in the late 1950s, the iconic artist’s prints make the frozen treats look more like colorful works of art than a dessert item. The four prints to look for are Ice Cream Dessert (Fancy Red), Ice Cream Desert (Purple Fancy), Ice Cream Dessert (Red and Pink) and Wild Raspberries. The later was made in conjunction with another great artist, Suzie Frankfurt.

They are just three artists whose ice cream art are a part of the Fulcrum Gallery’s current collection. Some of the many other names to consider are Darrin Hoover, Dawn Collins, Megan Meagher, Rosiland Solomon, Jennifer Sosik and Megan Duncanson.
