Large Wheeled Bike
Usually the sorts of people you see riding these big wheeled bikes are either clowns, or men in top hats and vintage dress. However, this vintage bicycle poster seems to be showing a sportsman riding his big wheeled bike.
Now that is a sport I would have liked to see in Beijing, it could replace some of those pseudo sports which seemed to dominate the Olympic coverage here.
You can easily pay far too much for a funky notice board, just because it happens to be in a cool colour, or an unusual shape, but try this idea on for size at your place – find a black wall or the back of a door and pencil in a line pattern. Screw in eyelet hooks to the corners of your design and then thread elastic shock cord through the eyelets to complete your design shape.
You now have somewhere you can clip notices and shopping lists, hang tea towels or secure paper towel, and in choosing a contrasting colour for your cord, you also have an artistic display too. Very cheap too!
Wall art often gives us an insight into the lives and feelings of the artist, and sometimes even an insight into ourselves and our own world. ‘Vineyard Through Oak Tree’makes me feel as though the photographer has stumbled upon this scene and wants to capture it before it changes, or they are discovered.
I feel honoured that I can share this special, secret view of this beautiful vineyard scene and I think that the most important thing a piece of wall art can do is transport you to another world and that is what this photo does for me.
Didn’t everyone, at one time or another see a stream just like this one, littered with rocks and decide to cross it? There was never a lot of danger involved because the water was not running very fast and nor was it very deep, the main worry was falling in and trying to explain to mum why you were dripping wet.
This wall art painting makes me smile and is a chance to remember other silly childhood adventures which we would never think to embark on now.
White is the chosen color for 2008. A combination of all the colors, the color has always stood for purity, innocence, commitment, reverence, modesty, unity and sanitation. We all know that our moods are affected by our environment. We can easily change our interiors to give us more stress relief and tranquility.
White is the best color that brings brightness in your home along with the added impression of more space around you. Always admired as a classy and elegant color, it also forms a perfect base for all your accessories and complements all styles.
Things of nature such as beautiful landscapes, green plants, graceful animals, vibrant flowers and artistic rocks are major stress busters, whether painted on canvas, as appliqué murals, or even as posters and photo images. From a soft cream of ivory to milky white lilies; the traditional romantic look or a modern hi tech environment, whites can make a regal difference this year!
No doubt, Canvas Art brings a new lease of life to your décor like no other décor accessories can! The wall art that you put up not only define your personality, taste and style, but also beautify your space and help you unwind and recharge from the weariness of the day.
The vital question is where and how to hang your beloved art? Try grouping your collection on the floor first, to check out which combination looks best. (That also keeps your walls free from ugly marks!) It is usually the larger paintings that look good at the top. The smaller ones can accompany them below. If you want to create a little variation and impact, try different locations, like ledges or a niche, with focus lighting. How about some accessories like smooth pebbles and shells near a seascape or palm trees near a tropical print? Nature and travel are going hot and make a fabulous statement in your personal spaces. You could add metal wall art or even vintage bicycle posters from all over your visited places to showcase your adventurous spirit and sportsmanship!
