More good oil painting finds in Sydney, Australia

This time at the NSW Art Gallery, Sydney next to the famous Botanical Gardens, I found some more beautiful fine art oil paintings. I hope you enjoy these as I did.

I loved the painting technique used in this painting. The subject of the painting is nothing extraordinary but yet, the color combination as well as the reflection of the outside through the mirror makes the painting very inviting. Would love to own a piece of oil painting like this one!

I’m not a fan of abstract oil painting, but this oil on canvas by Roy de Maistre is different! I don’t mind this at all. I love the colors and the curves (as opposed to sharp edges and harsh colors). Enjoy!!

Some good oil painting I found at the Australian Museum, Sydney

Amongst other oil on canvas paintings I found on my recent visit to the Australian Museum just opposite to the famous Sydney Hyde Park, these beautiful pieces I love for different reasons.

I loved the purple violet colors in this painting by Gordon Syrons.

On a completely different topic, also by Gordon Syrons, is this painting which represents something that maybe only the minority would truly understand and appreciate.

Oil paintings can say so much. I can stand there looking at them for a long time. What I enjoy is interpreting the oil painting. What’s more fun is getting someone else tell you their interpretation of the same oil painting and you’ll be amazed some of things that come out. We all perceive things differently, same for oil paintings and other things in life.

Oil Paintings for the Nursery or Kids’ Room

oil-painting-for-childrenIf you are wondering how you might be able to give your kids’ room a new look then consider the many painting schemes that are easily available for making their room more colorful and interesting.

I’ve seen many parents sticking posters everywhere in the nursery of kids’ room, but it would be much classier to hang up a painting of your child’s or your favorite character, or if you are concerned about how securely the painting is hung, then you can perhaps get a painting book so you can actually paint patterns or characters onto the wall. This might take some effort but it should be quite economical.

Painting books generally have all the steps about how to complete the project. They have information from color schemes to how to make use of different color and how to prepare a new color from mixing the different colors to get a new combination which will be unique for your kids’ room.
