William Vanscoy	No Place To Fall

 

 

“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.

 

Why Scenic Art Never Grows Old

Scenic Art

 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.' 

 

Scenic artwork is the perfect touch to the decor in any room of your home. The colors range from black and white to earth tones to bright colors. This makes it easy to find a scenic art print to match your color scheme.
