“No Place to fall” is a beautiful, lively photograph taken by none other than William Vanscoy. Vanscoy believed that what was being expressed made photographic art rather than what was being seen. He merged together traditional and digital photographic landscape because he believed it was important to capture the beauty of life and nature.
Style Of Art
William Vanscoy did a wonderful job with making this piece one that is well sought-after. By capturing timeless and detailed scenery, his photographs look as if you are looking at the scenery in person rather than a photograph. Vanscoy uses digital capture and extensive digital post-production to make his photographs. Sometimes he combines multiple photographs to create one realistic image. “No Place to fall” made it clear that Vanscoy did not need to describe or give further explanation to his pieces; he rather lets them speak for themselves. This gives the viewer a wide range of imagination to explore while looking at this photograph. This piece creates a sense of:
· Wonder.
· Serenity.
· Beauty.
· Self-expression.
This photograph is not explained which leaves it up to you to interpret the meaning.
Accenting The Piece
“No Place to fall” is a very bold piece. Although it is a big enough statement on its own, it can easily use small accents when hanging in a room. This piece could go well in any type of room but would work very well in a living room. By using beige, brown or dark tan colors around the room, this photograph will pop even more. Making this the focal point of the room would be a bold choice and really pay off when your guests can’t take their eyes off of it. Pairing the photograph with a beige colored picture frame would contrast with the darkness of the painting and bring out the details of the work.
Unintentional Popularity
Many owners of this piece describe it as “beautiful” and that is exactly what it is. Vanscoy captured this scenery perfectly. Some elements that reflect beauty are:
· The sun shining through the trees.
· The balance between light and dark.
· The extreme detail in the photograph that Vanscoy captured.
· The aspect of serenity.
Because of these elements, there is no question why this piece is so popular. Why wouldn’t you want to have this calming and beautiful photograph in your house or place of work? The only way to explain this photograph to a viewer would be to call it a “statement piece.” You could add other photographs around that complement “No Place to fall” but it could also work well standing on its own. This is such a bold piece; you could have bare beige colored walls with this, as your only hanging piece and the room would be beautiful.
Although the piece could be interpreted many different ways, one thing we can all agree on is the beauty is exudes. With the contrast, realism and serenity of this photograph, it’s no wonder it’s so popular and could work so well in many different settings.

Before all the snow melts and the trees begin to sprout new leaves, you can feel Spring stirring within. It may start as a subtle smell in the air that growth is coming, or a warmth from your gut that just seems to know. Seasonal Art has a unique way of activating and enlivening these natural feelings. Consider some of the art options below, and then play with your imagination until you find the right fit for your home's new Spring ambiance!
All about Green
Perhaps the color most associated with Spring, green represents growth and newness. Green is also soothing to the mind! Add splashes of green to existing walls with small, economical art prints like “Summer Field II,” which is only $8.39 for a twelve-by-twelve print. Or, go big and add a green statement painting to your living room! The “Spring Leaves” fine art print by artist Teri Jonas looks fantastic in print or canvas.
Multi-Color Joys
Spring welcomes all colors! If your home is already beautified by many different colors, adding Spring vibes will be easy with fine art floral prints. Whether you're looking for a traditional touch with realistic flowers and landscapes, or a more modern style with abstract floral imagery, there are always many options to fit your home decor.
Purple Says It All
From lavender to deep plum, purple is a beautiful natural color, rarely seen during the colder months of the year. Purples often represent royalty and spirituality, and when artistically portrayed in your home, these tones create feelings of richness, within and without. “Spring Song 1” by artist Helena Alves is a great example of traditional meets modern with variant hues of purple!
Looking for a different color? Yellows often look amazing in the kitchen, while blues are great for bedrooms! Fulcrum Gallery online allows you to search for artwork by color, season, artist, price, and beyond! For more information, contact us for all of your fine art needs!

Everyone loves popular color trends when they decide to remodel their home or renovate! It's fun to change your decor every once in a while to keep up with current popular color schemes. A very popular color for home decor, especially for this autumn season, is gold. Gold represents a meaning of success, achievement, and triumph. We often associate the color gold with money or wealth, but the color gold has so much more to tell us than just wealth. Many people have linked the color gold as a way to feel empowered and choose to think gold can give off a vibe of positive energy. Some also believe that gold can bring good wisdom, understanding, and enlightenment.
Represents a Meaning of Success, Achievement, and Triumph!
Often we see gold metals for the winner of a race so we connect the color gold and it's meaning to the winner's metal. This color draws attention to itself, it is eye-catching, passionate, and confident. Gold is a color that is often overlooked when choosing decor because of the flashy and wealthy vibe it shows. Decorating an office with gold art, or neutral colored prints with a gold frame, can give one a sense of empowerment and success. Getting gold art, art with a gold frame, or art on canvas with gold painted sides is not only suitable for your office. These will also raise your feeling of success in a library or study room.
Perfect Decor for Autumn Season!
Not only is gold great decor for offices, classrooms, libraries, and study rooms, but it is also great for general home decor during autumn season! Decorating your home with paintings and photographs of golden autumn trees and the golden kissed sky during sunset is a great way to bring the beauty of autumn into your home with out having crunchy leaves. Gold autumn decor helps a room pop with color and come to life. Golden touched autumn art is especially a great decor choice for those who find themselves who favor autumn over other seasons. If autumn season is your favorite, why not leave the autumn decor up year round to keep your favorite season around!
Although gold is a popular color to decorate, you want to make sure to not overdo it. Having too much gold decor in your home can be overwhelming since gold is such a bold color. If the room is painted a solid color that compliments gold, just decorating with gold is perfectly fine! But remember, gold is a loud color that does not need help standing out and making a statement. Too much gold decor can ruin the statement you want to make. If done correctly, gold decor can be the perfect inspirational art, or the perfect seasonal art!

Fall is almost here! As the temperature drops and the days grow shorter, nature follows suit with a change of colors. Yellow, orange, gold, rust and red take over the landscape, diffusing autumnal spell. An irresistible spell. A spell you want to bring inside your home and spread the magic all around. Here’s how you can bring the colors of fall into your home:
Celebrate the Colors of Fall
Fall means the orange of pumpkin, the red of corn, yellow of gourds and the rust of fallen leaves. Often, they don’t come in one shade but myriads of shades and hues – a subtle yellow, a bold red or deep burgundy. Fall celebrate colors, perhaps nature’s way of cheering the beginning of colder weather. Fall colors are warm and inviting and what better way of duplicating these hues than inviting them into your home. How? By using fall art and prints that capture the essence of the season. For instance Bright Autumn Day showcases trees touched by the glow of orange and red while Autumn Embers captures a more subdued autumn. What you pick depends on the mood and feel you’re going for.
Celebrate the Season
In America, fall calls for celebration – pumpkin patch, hayrides, harvest fest, Halloween and Thanksgiving. Often, fall décor is employed to amp up the ambience. Apart from using pumpkins and gourds and fall flowers to build the atmosphere, consider using fall art and prints to add layers of interest. Transform the kitchen into an autumnal landscape of irresistible warmth and colors. Consider pictures of fall harvest such as playful Sharing the Harvest or thoughtful Harvest Blessings. Choices abound with pictures of wine, olives, prairie landscape and Tuscany harvest.
Celebrate Fall One Room at a Time
Think of how many ways you can use fall décor and how many places you can go with that. We’re talking rooms in your house. The kitchen may be the most obvious place to deck out fall décor but don’t limit your fall magic to just one room. Cozy up your family room with autumn flowers or autumn landscapes or abstract art. Or the living room or the den for that matter. Follow your fancy and allow fall magic to invade your living spaces.
Use art to celebrate fall in all its glories!

Before long, that old familiar nip will be in the air and leaf peeping season will be in full bloom. Personally, we’re looking forward to it, are you? If so, may we suggest that you prepare for the season by decorating your personal space with autumn art? In our experience, there is no better way to get ready for Mother Nature’s amazing show than that.
Matthew Sievers’ Autumn Art
Matthew Sievers is one creative soul whose autumn art would be perfect for contemporary interior designs. His Seasons and Saturated Reflections wall art are truly unique. When stared at long enough, they almost make viewers feel as if they’ve been transported into the autumn woods. Sievers is also known to celebrate the change of seasons in his autumn art with giclee, stylized flowers, impasto, reflections and two-tone design elements. So his work would add quite a bit of visual interest to an otherwise drab space.
Lynn Krause’s Autumn Art
If you are looking for autumn art that has the warm colors of foliage front and center, pastel artist Lynn Krause’s work may be a good choice for you. She has an entire tree series that collectively shines a spotlight on the way that leaves change their colors. Some of her artwork, like Autumn Stream and Bright Autumn Day II, feature vivid yellows and oranges that are likely to really brighten up a place. Thus, you may want to put them in a bedroom or hallway with access to the outside.
James Wiens’ Autumn Art
Do you prefer the look of oil on wood or canvas instead of pastel and paper? Well then, work by contemporary artist, James Wiens may be more to your liking. He has two series of note, Autumn Trees and Autumn Forest. Both focus on fall foliage. However, the colors used in the paintings are much more subdued than those found in other artists’ work. Therefore, it would be feasible to hang them in rooms filled with early American furnishings.
To learn more about these artists’ work and find the ideal autumn art for your personal space, please visit Fulcrum Gallery.

One look at Diane Romanello’s seaside paintings and you’d be hard-pressed to correctly identify the modern artist’s birthplace. She’s certainly one native New Yorker who can capture an ocean sunset and present it with a hefty dose of romantic realism. Of course dream-inducing seaside vistas are not the only ones Romanello has painted over the years. Her true-to-life paintings have also featured such coveted, tranquil places as country roads, rivers, gardens and lakes. Here’s a look at several of her paintings that are suitable for decorating a beach house:
One serenity inspiring painting to hang on your beach house’s wall is Twilight Time. It features sand dunes, a wooden boardwalk and a romantic view of the ocean. Because of the cool toned colors used throughout the painting, it would look lovely on a navy blue or gray display wall. You could also easily pair her painting with textured pillows, a sand colored carpet and driftwood furniture.
Diane Romanello’s Blue Skies Panel is another piece of art perfect for a beach house’s display wall. It features the artist’s iconic Adirondack chairs, which are frequently found throughout her seaside scenes. In this case, the chairs are placed on a wooden deck situated between two sand dunes. The chairs face out towards the ocean that appears luminous under the summer sun.
If you like your seaside scenes to include swaying Queen palms, Diane Romanello’s Paradiso Sunset may just tickle your sandy toes. Gazing at the painting will leave you feeling as if you’re standing under the palms watching the waves roll up onto the shore. Romanello used a series of warm toned colors to create the painting. Thus, it would look attractive paired with earth or fire toned walls and furnishings.

Themed areas and rooms are the perfect way to show off your own personal sense of style and innovation. From a nautical theme to a safari theme; one of the best ways to create a themed decor idea is with scenic photography.
For instance, a nautical theme consists of many ideas such as beach photography, boats and oceans. A colorful fine art print of a pristine beach sets the mood and you can add decorations that fit in with this theme such as seashells, anchors and boats. Add a pastel painted wall in blue or green to complete the look or you can choose white walls and add in black and white photography that sets a more subdued mood.
For a safari themed room, animals prints are perfect for your bedding and the look won't be complete without animal photography such as the colorful African Elephants Sparring or the stunning black and white Amboseli Elephants by Jorge Llovet.
For a game room or den, you may enjoy a vintage look and vintage photography looks are an addition that adds to your theme. You can choose from sports prints, celebrities or timeless shots such as Kissing the War Goodbye, VJ Day, Times Square, August 14, 1945. For this look, photography in black and white or sephia work best to create the right mood but the choice is yours.
No matter what type of theme you choose, it won't be complete without the perfect wall hanging to complete your design. You can be as bold as you like or as subtle; you'll always find scenic photography that blends in perfectly with your aesthetic.

Perhaps you can feel it in the air—or see it in the strong spring winds making the trees dance outside your window. Spring is not far away. Soon it will be warm enough to open your windows to let in all that fresh spring air—and perhaps contemplate that dreaded spring cleaning.
With all the freshness in the air, why not freshen up one or more rooms of your home with some fresh spring art? We think that landscapes are perfect for spring, as they connects us with that enticing outdoor spring weather. Here are some ideas for bringing the outdoors in with our extensive collection of landscape art.
- Take a virtual stroll in one of our spring landscapes. There are literally dozens to choose from, ranging from the traditional Springtime Valley to the more unusual desert scene of Superstition Sunset in March.
- Hang a traditional spring landscape in your home to evoke that classical feeling in your most elegant room. We have many to choose from, ranging from Monet and Van Gogh to Diane Romanello and many more.
- Take yourself outdoors with a virtual picnic. In our Spring Landscapes collection you will find many pictorial picnics, including a picnic by the sea, a picnic beside a river, and a picnic in a park, all waiting to inspire you to create a spring picnic of your own.
- Or perhaps you wish to take yourself a bit further away, with a landscape evoking your favorite escape from spring allergies. We have lots of beautiful beach and tropical landscapes to choose from.
- In the same way that spring can be coy and teasing, here one day and buried back under winter the next, you might choose one of our more abstract landscapes, that suggests spring without being so obvious about it. We suggest giving Still Waters or Ambergris a try.
Whatever your favorite style or topic, our landscape art is sure to inspire you, so take some time to enjoy wandering through our spring landscapes!
