“Vase With Oleanders and Books” painted by Vincent Van Gogh is one of his purest paintings of flowers in my opinion. The colors are not bright and loud, and the toned down colors allows the beauty of the Oleanders to shine through.
First, I like how simplistic the colors of …

Lorenzo Costa’s The Concert is another oil painting but this one is done on poplar. It is not one of my favorite paintings from the Renaissance time period. It has its good parts but there are some things I think the artist failed to capture. Maybe he did this …

First, I love the richness of the colors used in this painting as well as the intensity. I love the fire engine red color of the back wall of …

This painting depicts two sailboats sailing away on a colorful green-blue ocean below a sky of breaking clouds, perhaps at sunrise. It is somewhat different from Monet’s normal style - less vague and “fuzzy,” more clear and precise; but it still has Monet’s characteristic atmosphere of calm beauty.
I like …

We have been going to this establishment ever since it was the location of a “As You Wish Pottery and Paint Place”. As You Wish moved out of the location many years ago and a new owner took it on and renamed it Creative Hands. Since that time, the …

“Sunflowers” painted by Vincent Van Gogh is a painting of a single sunflower. I like this painting; however, to really comprehend what the painting is about, you have to do some research about sunflowers. It can be a daunting tasking especially if you don’t know anything about sunflowers or …

“Landscape With Olive Trees” painted by Vincent Van Gogh is a landscape painting with an eerie feel to it. I love Edgar Allen Poe’s stories and the degree of eeriness in Van Gogh’s painting reminds me of that feeling when I read Poe’s stories.

“Church At Auvers” painted by Vincent Van Gogh is a painting of a church in France.

“Vase of Roses” painted by Vincent Van Gogh is a painting of white roses. For me, this painting had the same color touches as the previous Oleander one I reviewed; however, it does not have the same vibe as the Oleander.
First, I like the colors of the painting which …

Rebecca Latham’s painting entitled “Blue-Hyacinth Macaw” is not only vibrant in the colors that are chosen to represent the animal, but so lifelike that it’s almost hard imagine that this wasn’t just a picture taken instead. So much detail is given to this painting that everyone, whether you are …

The entranceway is spectacular, and the visitor’s portal is a semi-circular metal post of elegant modernism that will accommodate more guests. We like the …

“The Red Vineyard At Arles” painted by Vincent Van Gogh is an emotional painting because the subject at hand. From the looks of it, it appears to be about slavery; however, I don’t know much about France’s history but that’s my take on it.
I think “The Red Vineyard At …

“Night Stroll” by Sung Kim is a painting of a city at night where people are taking strolls down the streets.
