Art of the Day: "I Love You for Sentimental Reasons (Skirrid Mountain), 2015" by Elizabeth Westcott

“This is an impressionistic painting of cow-parsley and wild grasses, swaying in the breeze under the Skirrid Mountain, in South Wales. Local folklore says that the fissure on one side of the mountain was said to have been a split caused at the time of the crucifiction of Christ. It is therefore also known as Holy mountain, and has been a place of pilgrimage for centuries. This painting is embellished with gold and silver leaf.”

"Carpathians, Summer morning, 2015" by Aleksandr Kryushyn

I'm impressed by the fresh mountain air and bright colours of the Carpathian Mountains! A bright sunny morning in June in a mountain village. Alexander Kriushin is works in the traditions of the European school of fine arts, combined with the southern temperament of execution. The artist travels a lot and works en plein air, but often a plain etude is just an excuse for further work, and then the work begins in the studio.

"Awareness, 2017" by Suzana Dzelatovic

With this painting, I tried to illustrate my meditative state of mind. Gold and everything that shines and has worth are inside us. We must close our eyes to see things clearly and to find our inner treasure. Original acrylic painting. Signed on the front. Unique and one of a kind with a certificate of authenticity.
