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.

Tips for Showcasing Everything a Beautiful Summer Has to Offer

by Fulcrum Gallery Staff 21. May 2015 16:11

The days before summer’s official kickoff are melting away faster than a slushy sitting in the midday sun. Celebrate summer art and hang up a few pieces of seasonal art before it arrives. We have made a list of a few summer art decorating tips to help you get started. They will help you create a sunny space within the home or office that is just too beautiful to ignore.

Do remember that summer is all about color. Choose artwork that brings bursts of color into the room. Summer is full of color from fields of bright yellow sunflowers with there deep green stems to orange red sunsets over the calm beach. These colorful scenes and more are portrayed in art. Not only does summer colored art brighten a room, but it also brings summer vacation memories due to the vibrant colors. Memories of vacation days gone by or those yet to come.

 Summer Art

 

Canvas finishes are a great option for beach artwork. Brushstrokes give plain artwork texture and dimension. This is great for beach scenes because it makes the waves and sand come to life. If you would rather a frame finish, don’t forget to select mats, glazing options and frames that not only compliment the seasonal art but are tough enough to stand up to the sun too. After all, chances are high that you’ll be letting some natural sunlight filter into your home or business during the bright months ahead.

 

Do remember that summer is also about living easy. So, try to keep those frame and mat selections simple as well. Choose unpretentious patterns or stick with plain frames and single mats. Save the intricate, heavy pieces for the fall and winter.

 

 

Don’t skip over summer themes that may not immediately align with traditional, seasonal design schemes. We have found that there is something to be said for hanging summer art that fuels the imagination. Let’s take Panoramic Images’ print, Woman and High Heels on Beach as an example.

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.

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.
