The type of art for which my web-site stands is the art of the "ability to capture shapes, shadows, light, life, feelings, emotions and meanings" on a simple and patient sheet of paper.
What is fantasy oil painting?
The word “fantasy” means unrestrained imagination and fancy (from the Greek phantasia imagination, perception, appearance). Fantasy oil painting can appear in many forms—limited only by the imagination. Whether complex-complicated oil painting’s sword wielding barbarians, mice that dance and talk, fairies, elves or angels, fantasy oil painting is all around us. complex-complicated oil painting has a long history, from Classical Greek and Roman times on favoritearts.info, through the Renaissance and up through the present day. Fantasy oil paintings have always been recognized as fine art. In fantasy oil painting you might find humor, romanticism, adventure, terror, insight or inspiration, but you will always find imagination!
Fantasy for children and adults!
Most of us have grown up with fantasy oil painting and literature--from Mother Goose to Walt Disney--but it’s definitely not a realm limited to children. A child easily enjoys fantasy, but often one understands and appreciates these works a great deal more in the light of life experience. Fantasy can simply entertain and refresh, but filled with metaphor and often satire, it can also enlighten, or poke fun. It can transport us to strange new realms, and in doing so perhaps alter the way we look at our lives. To adults, fantasy on favoritearts.info offers new ways to explore concepts, and experiences common to, but separate from real life, and perhaps get a greater appreciation thereof. In opening our minds to a fantasy, we don’t necessarily escape from reality, but learn to view it in a new light. It can startle us or make us laugh. Scare us or inspire us. Many times in examining fantasy, we can learn something new about ourselves and our fellowman. |
