The first use of the word silver as a color name was recorded in English was 1481. Silver is one of the first five metals to have been discovered and silver objects have been found dating back before 4000 BC. Beyond jewelry, silver has been used in art, specifically in stained-glass windows. The yellow and deep amber colors come from firing the silver after coating the glass.
From minimalist silver prints by Melody Hogan such as Silver Snowflakes 1, Silver Trees 1, and Silver Deer 3, to Vision Studio’s Audubon Silhouette II and Jennifer Goldberger’s Silver Blue Tulips IV, there are many options to draw the eye in any room. Megan Meagher has floral prints like Silver Filigree II and Silver Filigree IX that will add a light touch to your living space.
Even icons can be found in silver print: Statue of Liberty Neutral by Albena Hristova or Marilyn, Silver by Huang Shen. If skylines are your cup of tea, consider Silver Skyline II by Ethan Harper or Chicago I by Liz Jardine. Still-life is equally striking in Silver Orchids II by Keith Mallett, Fruit In a Bowl of Silver by Patrick Farrell, and Silverleaf And Poppies I by Janet Kruskamp.
Animals are an excellent subject such as Elephant Exotiques by Katrina Craven or Longing Silver Standard Poodle by Jai Johnson. Nature prints can bring in the outdoors in any season, for example Beach II by Heather McAlpine, Summer Solstice by Nancy Orlenstone, and Mist I by Sharon Gordon.
