  • HEALING HANDS: A VINTAGE FRESCO.

    HEALING HANDS: A VINTAGE FRESCO.

    "Healing Hands" features two prominent handprints and various spiral patterns against a textured background. The handprints are centrally positioned, with one handprint oriented upwards and the other facing downwards, giving a sense of symmetry. Each hand is detailed with lines defining the fingers and the palm, and a large spiral sits in the middle of each palm. Additional smaller spirals float around the hands. The background has a crackled effect, suggesting an ancient or weathered surface. The predominant colors are earthy, with warm shades of brown and reddish tones, juxtaposed with the darker lines of the hands and spirals. The edges of the piece are irregular and fragmented, which enhances the rustic and organic feel of the work. The piece evokes a primitive or tribal aesthetic, possibly referencing cultural symbols or ancient artforms. The inspiration behind this artwork comes from my fascination with vintage frescoes. The pursuit of this hobby requires certain levels of material and drawing skills, along with an understanding of color theory. When executed correctly, the differences between (real) and (fake) ancient Fresco styles are explored in this work. There is nothing like the original frescoes in my opinion, and I wanted to capture that essence in "Healing Hands." The process of creating this artwork was truly unique and challenging, but I am proud of the end result. I believe that vintage unique healing hands fresco retro symbol antique modern classic. This piece truly reflects my passion for the art of fresco painting, and I can't wait for you all to see it in person. "Healing Hands: A Vintage Fresco," available in prints only! #Art #Fresco #HealingHands and thank you for your ongoing support! Best, Lena Owens OLena Art

    Rich Textures of Autumn Trees: A Dynamic Painting

    This vibrant, textured painting captures the dynamic beauty of autumn trees. The composition features birch trees with white and grey bark, adorned with leaves in bright yellow, red, and orange hues. The use of thick, impasto brushstrokes creates a sense of three-dimensionality and captures the play of light and shadow within the forest. The lack of a clearly delineated background allows the viewer to focus on the brilliant colors and textural contrast within the piece. The artwork in this image is a vibrant, textured painting depicting autumn trees. The composition primarily features birch trees with white and grey bark that stand vertically throughout the canvas. These trees are adorned with leaves in bright yellow hues that suggest the season of fall. Below these vivid yellows, there is an underbrush of leaves in deep red and orange tones, adding warmth and a sense of seasonal change to the scene. The painting utilizes thick, impasto brushstrokes which give the piece a dynamic, almost three-dimensional quality. These textured strokes capture the play of light and shadow, enhancing the overall richness of the colors and the sensation of a dense, lively forest. The background above the trees is not clearly delineated, allowing the viewer to focus on the brilliant colors and the textural contrast between the leaves and the tree trunks. #vibrantart #autumntrees #texturedpainting #impastobrushstrokes #fallforest #seasonalchange #natureart #artisticprocess #vibrantcolors #seasonalart #landscapepainting #artinspiration #colorfulleaves #treetrunks #seasonalartwork Rich Textures of Autumn Trees: A Dynamic Painting OLena Art accepts art commissions.
