Sinking Ship

This painting is an introspective, dark piece that will surely engage anyone who likes art that sparks deep conversations and can be studied for hours, exploring the emotional content of the scene at hand. Sinking Ship is an abstract painting in some ways, such as its nondescript setting, and emphasis on emotion rather than form. Yet, the scene we are presented with here is rather concrete for an abstract artwork. An interesting aspect of this painting is the lack of solid subjects and the way in which the artist has relied on the brush strokes to give the painting shape. This style works very effectively to blend the scenes together and to create multiple shapes and sections that the individual must navigate. This piece utilizes disparate colors- from rust browns, light blues, oranges and highlights of white and black to achieve its isolated, somber ambiance. The painting presents the viewer with a no concrete subject yet portrays figures such as a ladder form, swirls, checkers and random shapes. The figures are rendered unique in comparison to the one next to it as well as the natural world around it. Despite being small, the figures are still each unique to the piece and most interesting and eye catching, that will catch the viewer and hold their attention and stand out against the colors of the world around it.

The deep tones of Sinking Ship and its very expressive, emotional content make it well suited for a home or another intimate setting that you would like to add a painting with rich colors and an evocative subject to. This original canvas artwork is available on four canvases that is the perfect platform for the smooth brush strokes of this piece and the points as with the disparate colors meet and blend together. The size of this painting allow it to attractively fill a number of wall spaces and its colors harmonize with many others. If you are interested in discovering more paintings similar to this one, a good place to begin looking is our Landscape Canvas section, where you will find many more thought provoking and twilit scenes. A piece that shares many of the particulars that make Sinking Ship so noteworthy is Broken , an original canvas painting that strives to evoke the emotion of the viewer with it's intimate portrait of lines and colors.

Classic Sunrise

Classic Sunrise is just that: a classic depiction of sunrise, complete with all of the stereotypical elements: palm trees, brilliant colors flaring around the sun, tepid waters still and placid. Despite these very straightforward and traditional details, there are textures and details of Classic Sunrise that make it new, and increasingly diverse in its scope and the impression it leaves. The composition of Classic Sunrise is classic as well as gorgeous. The palm trees lean in from the far left third of the piece, their boughs arced and contrasting the soft colors of the sunset awash in the background. Streaked across the water that is suggested through delicate brush strokes is a beam of light, the last remnants of a long day suddenly fading away. It is the profound sense of relaxation that seems to be the most "classic" element of this remarkable painting. To allow your eyes to explore the terrain of the painting is to take a vacation from wherever you are- whether you observe this painting from your desk at work, or from the sink in your kitchen as you clean dishes- Classic Sunrise allows you to escape the less romantic moments of everyday life. The soothing quality of this painting practically makes it an investment for your mental health. Wherever this painting is hung, it will increase the sense of ease and harmony in that space.

Another classic component of Classic Sunrise is the artist's choice to depict this scene on a single canvas of modest size. The traditional styling of the design in this piece is very appropriate and suits the fluidity, ease and resilience that is central to the experience of the painting. There is a unity that it is created in this choice that is hard to miss. Not only is the design of this appropriate and attractive, but the size is extremely versatile. No matter what space you need to fill- whether you have a wide, empty wall or a small niche to fill amid busy décor, Classic Sunrise will compliment the your particular room. If you would like to explore more meaningful, peaceful and classic pieces of original art, you may want to browse the variety of paintings available in our Traditional Canvas section.

The Renaissance was seperated into several different periods which all brought their own strengths to this overall umbrella movement and this was all then later replaced by the Baroque movement which pushed things on again, but probably did not manage to make as much progress as the Renaissance had done some years earlier.

This movement helped to put some incredible names in the public eye, and they went onto to stretch their talents far and wide, taking in all sorts of different disciplines as they looked to take their ambitions as far as they could go. Inventions, architecture and drawing are just some of the other elements which joined painting in this large movement which quickly spread right across Europe.

More and more people are finding this period accessible after initially finding it too traditional. People appears to be taking the time to understand why this era was so important and why the masters like Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo are considered to have been so talented. Some of the key countries who joined Italy in the Renaissance included Britain, Germany, Netherlands, Spain and France although many more also made significant contributions.

Italy will always be best remembered for this art movement, with much coming from the major artistic centres of Venice, Rome and Florence which continues to make these cities fantastic places to visit because of all of the art that they still hold in permanent collections.

Diego Rivera Paintings

Mexican art has two notable contributors that we can all enjoy today, namely Frida Kahlo and her husband Diego Rivera who both had exceptional careers offering innovation and qualities that very few others artists have ever managed. Rivera was a proud communist who would often try to impress his strong views on others and he used his art career as a way of building connections and found this an excellent way of getting to mix in impressive social circles.

Rivera's murals marked him out in a way which is always refered to today and these were produced in Mexico and regularly featured aspects of the loves of poor people, which this artist always felt a considerable connection to and he found inspiration from them for his art, which he always intended to use to send out messages to others.

It is always pleasing to see an artist who has a message that they want to convey to others, particularly when it is about caring for the poorer elements of society when previously artists have often only cared about those at the top of society, as they felt these people could further their own lives or that they made better subjects for art works.

Check out all of the following as examples of the fine work of Diego Rivera: The Great City of Tenochtilan, Flower Festival: Feast of Santa Anita, Nina En Azul Y Blanco, Baile en Tehauntepec, Disembarkation of the Spanish at Veracruz, Muchacha con Girasoles, Nude with Calla Lilies, Baile en Tehauntepec, El Vendedor de Alcatraces, La Noche de Los Pobres, The Zapotec Civilization, Vendadora de Alcatraces, The Flower Vendor, The Flower Carrier, Vendedora de Alcatraces, Peasants Retrato de Ignacio, Muchacho Mexicano, Mother's Helper and Vendedora de Pinas.

There is so much to learn from this exceptional artist who gave the western world new ideas which inspired many whilst others who incorporate some of these innovations into their own work. There is also much to see from the wife of Diego Rivera, namely Frida Kahlo who was an exciting artist who would use all of her emotions with in them, which attracted an audience all of her own.

Recent years have given us some great exhibitions of paintings by both Diego Rivera and also Frida Kahlo and these have also encouraged people to buy reproductions of some of their best work, with posters, framed art prints and stretched canvases all becoming quite popular with art fans all across the globe.
