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.

If you're one of the many who favors sitting in the golden sun and hearing the waves crash against the sand rather than ice covered roads and freezing temperatures, you're probably dreading these next couple weeks as summer is changing to fall. Instead of counting down the long days until next summer, create summer in your home to help you last through these cold seasons. There's nothing quite like coming in from a cold blistery drive to a warm house with summer paintings and colors to bring you back to the warm summer ambiance. 

Creating a summer atmosphere for your home is easier think whether you like summer wildlife, beaches, fields, or gardens best. The first step to creating a winter long summer is to figure out which scene you like the most. Let's say summer beach art is your favorite for example. Here are some tips to decorating for the winter with beach art. 

Ask yourself, what color of beach art would compliment the color of your room. If your walls are a neutral color, you may want to go for beach paintings that are full of color and life.  Keep in mind not only the art you like, but how it will look on your walls if they are a bright color. Winter is a season that is usually associated with dark colors so don't be afraid to go out of the box and be a little daring with bright oranges and blues.

If you are someone that needs more than just a pop of color to make thing exciting, try looking for dolphin figurines or even drape a fisherman's net above the mirror to create a tropical vibe to your beach and ocean scheme. Depending on the room can help you with unleashing your creative streak and really go all out with the decor.

The unique lobster has been crawling around on earth for about 100-Million-Years! Lobsters are amazing animals with extremely weird characteristics: they have kidneys in their heads, teeth in their stomachs, brains in their throats, and they grow throughout their lifespan by shedding their shells! They also taste things with their claws and hear stuff with their legs. Lobsters live alone and love to hide on the ocean floor amidst sea flora and rocks. Like birds, they even navigate by sensing earth's magnetism!

Lobsters are also much more than just expensive food! During the Medieval and Renaissance periods, lobsters were pulverized and utilized as medicinal cures for epilepsy, kidney stones, and eye inflammation. Plus, lobsters are steeped in ancient symbolism that connects to transformation, longevity, protection, independence, and solitude. It is said that those who feel a strong connection to the lobster are adept at letting go of the outer world, focusing on the inner world, and experiencing a true sense of freedom from societal labels and restrictions.

 In ancient Greece “the lobster was generally esteemed sacred by the Greeks and was not eaten by them; if the people of Seriphos caught a lobster in their nets they put it back into the sea; if they found a dead one they buried it and mourned over it as over one of themselves.” Lobsters have also been a persistent symbol in animal art history, from adorning mosaic images on Roman floors to being showcased in Japanese paintings. Salvador Dali used lobsters many times in his Surrealist art.

If you feel drawn to the unique mystery of lobsters and want to connect with their powerful symbolism, consider lobster themed fine art for your home. For a rustic lobster look that expresses their function as revered food, the “Red Horse Signs Lobster” print is an excellent choice. For a more whimsical look that expresses the dynamic character of the lobster and its ocean environment, “Sydney Wright Ocean Lobster” will beautify and energize your walls in no time! If, however, you prefer a highly artistic take on the lobster and its connection to independence, the fine art print “Andy Warhol Lobster, c. 1982” says it all!
