Online Paintings

Painting is a practice undertaken by a person to express his/her feelings, emotions etc on a surface.

The various surfaces that can be used are paper, canvas, glass and so on and so forth. A painting is very different from a 3D version.

It can be rightly said that color to a painting is what sound is to music. An collection of paintings consists of landscapes, portraits, theoretical figures and many more.

Museums are the ideal place for a person to view the works of great painters ranging from the Early Renaissance Period to today’s skilled artists.

People undertake painting as a hobby or even as a form of income.

For some people, painting is a form of tension release.

The feeling of applying color to a surface gives a person a kind of high that cannot be experienced from any other form of art.

Some of the paintings are closely touch to the heart. The author expose the feelings in his paintings very genuinely.

Landscape art is a term that covers the depiction of natural scenery such as mountains, valleys, trees, rivers, and forests, and especially art where the main subject is a wide view, with its elements arranged into a coherent composition.

In other works landscape backgrounds for figures can still form an important part of the work.

Sky is almost always included in the view, and weather is often an element of the composition.

Detailed landscapes as a distinct subject are not found in all artistic traditions, and develop when there is already a sophisticated tradition of representing other subjects

Landscape backgrounds for various types of painting became increasingly prominent and skilful during the century.

The period around the end of the 15th century saw pure landscape drawings and watercolours from Leonardo da Vinci, Albrecht Dürer, Fra Bartolomeo and others.

But pure landscape subjects in painting and printmaking, still small, were first produced by Albrecht Altdorfer and others of the German Danube School in the early 16th century.

At the same time Joachim Patinir in the Netherlands developed a style of panoramic landscapes with a high aerial viewpoint that remained influential for a century, being used, for example, by Pieter Brueghel the Elder.

The Italian development of a thorough system of graphical perspective was now known all over Europe, which allowed large and complex views to be painted very effectively

Victorian artists initially took their cute paintings from Shakespeare but soon devised their own scenarios.

By the mid 1800's a tradition developed among British and Scottish Painters that continues today the world over in every known media.

This exhibition of contemporary fairy Paintings, drawings and pictures embraces this tradition.

Faeries: also Fairy or Fairy, have long been the common terms for a legendary race of clever super- natural beings who meddle in human affairs, but they are known by many names.

Commonly associated with the Celts, Fairies are not the product of one culture or time; they have a pedigree.

Ancient Greek Heroes had fairy lemans, called nymphs, and the faraway Asians, Eskimos and American Indians had similar fairy legends as well.

The mythic Gandharvas of Sanskrit poetry were also fairies.

Many fairy tales popular today had their origins in the folk tales of prehistoric times...
