Bless Us Every One

 

Do you want to decorate your home with whimsical signs of winter? If so, there is no better way to do it than with snowman themed holiday art. There are many different styles of snow people art to choose from. Here’s a look at five that may just have you praying for flurries:

Snowman Holiday Artist #1: Kim Lewis

Artist Kim Lewis’ snowman art is ideal for those that love fanciful, classic illustrations. Her work features neutral tones with pops of holiday color. Take her Snowman I and Snowman II prints as examples. They contain charming snowmen and bluebirds. Other pieces in her collection well worth grabbing are Snowmen with Black Cat, Warm Winter Welcome, Faith Snowman, Hear No Evil and Cheerful Givers.

Snowman Holiday Artist #2: Donna Race

Artist Donna Race’s holiday art collection has a feel that differs greatly from that of Kim Lewis’ work. Many of Race’s snow people are surrounded by colorful backgrounds full of woodland animals. The prints, as a result, would match a variety of decorating styles. Titles that may suit your needs are Dapper Snowman, Jolly Snowman and Snowman’s Feathered Fun.

Snowman Holiday Artist #3: Michael Humphries

Prefer snow people shown in residential scenes instead? Check out artist Michael Humphries’ Letter to Santa. It features a snow family gathered around a mailbox on a snowy evening. It could be paired with his other snow family print, Season’s Greeters.

Snowman Holiday Artist #4: Jo Moulton

If country décor is what you crave, artist Jo Moulton’s vast collection is deserving of a run through. It contains such gems as the Blue Tin Snowman Series, Happy Home, All Hearts Come Home for Christmas and Winter. Each one would look super in a country kitchen, foyer or bedroom.

Snowman Holiday Artist #5: Andrea Roberts

We’d also like to suggest taking a look at artist Andrea Roberts’ work. Her snow people art features cheery red backgrounds clad with snowflakes or other white accents. Because they display similar figures, the prints could very well be arranged in one location. Examples of her holiday artwork include Hello Hello, Dancing Dancing and Move It Move It.

Holiday Art Collections That Are Perfect for Thanksgiving Celebrations

Turkey Chef

 

With Thanksgiving fast approaching, many people are searching for ways to decorate their homes in time for the festivities. Some people opt to place a few cardboard cut-outs of turkeys here and there. Others like to display framed, holiday art. If you count yourself among the later group, we’d like to make a few suggestions:

Thanksgiving Holiday Art Collection #1: Archibald Thorburn

The late Scottish artist Archibald Thorburn’s work would make a wonderful addition to a Thanksgiving art display wall. Thorburn was known for his bird illustrations, including the one titled Wild Turkey. It features sepia, black and white hues that would blend in well with many autumn decorations. If pheasant, goose or duck happen to be on your holiday menu, don’t worry. Thorburn’s collection of holiday art includes images of them too.

Thanksgiving Holiday Art Collection #2: John James Audubon

While we are on the subject of bird illustrations, let’s not forget about ornithologist John James Audubon. His artwork would look phenomenal on a Thanksgiving display wall as well. His Wild Turkey fine art print is considered to be one of the best available. You could feasibly pair it with turkey illustrations by J. Stewart, Archibald Thorburn and Charles I. Bonapart.

Thanksgiving Holiday Art Collection #3: Leo Stans

Do you remember The National Park Series of framed prints that were released in the 1990s? If so, you may recall the artist Leo Stans. His body of work contains very colorful prints featuring turkeys in the wild. Two prints of note are Turkeys and Along the Fence. Both show the turkeys in a natural, autumn setting. Because of the colors involved, they would also pair well with Red Horse Signs’ print titled Turkey Hunt.

Thanksgiving Holiday Art Collection #4: T.C. Chiu

Would you rather take a whimsical approach to your Thanksgiving holiday art display? Try taking a peek at artist T.C. Chiu’s collection of work. Known for his artistry with Giclee, watercolors and oils, he has a fun series of art dubbed Turkey Chef. There are three paintings in the series. Each one features a chef in the process of preparing a turkey dinner. As such, you may want to hang them in the dining room or near the entrance to the kitchen.

Those are just a sampling of the Thanksgiving art available. Some of the additional artists to consider are Katherine Roundtree, Currier & Ives, Claude Monet and Diane Arthurs. To learn more about them and others, please contact us at Fulcrum Gallery. Our toll-free number is (800) 644-1278.

Artist Ford Smith’s Landscape Paintings are a “Must See”

Natural Phenomenon

Are you looking to fill your home with multi-hued landscape paintings that have an energy all their own? If that’s the situation, we’d suggest that you consider looking at the life’s work of contemporary artist, Ford Smith. Both of those previously qualities may be found in his landscape and seascape paintings.

Ford Smith’s love of landscape and seascape paintings may be traced back to Japan. It is where he spent part of his childhood. From there, he moved back to the U.S. Once in the states, he continued perfecting his painting skills. He also spent time as a commercial and fashion photographer. Today, his work continues to captivate those that take the time to view it.

One Ford Smith painting that may appeal to your sensibilities is the Natural Optimist. It features a stand of trees that are reflected in a body of water. The trees feature narrow trunks that allow Smith’s yellow-hued sky to flood the painting with light. The tops of the trees sport bold tufts of red foliage that only add to the painting’s appeal. Because of the painting’s subject matter and Smith’s smart use of color, it would pair well with contemporary furnishings as well as other pieces from his collection. Thus, you could feasibly set-up a display wall using the trees and color scheme as the central theme. Other Ford Smith gems that would complement the Natural Optimist include Altruistic Nature, Amber Reception, Greener Grass and Beyond Imagination.

Beyond Imagination Greener Grass by Ford Smith

If you are looking to incorporate more than reds, yellows and blues to your display wall, don’t worry. Some of Ford Smith’s additional paintings contain other colors that would be appropriate for use in contemporary design schemes. A superior example is his Dash of Energy painting. It features dark colored trees, a yellow-orange horizon and water. The water is where the unexpected splashes of color come into the picture. The list of colors used in the water portion of the painting includes purples, pinks, peaches, blues and more.
