Acrylic Serene Hand-Painted (Nature)

What does the Nature painting depict?

It is an abstract form of nature from the artist's own imagination. Dr. Priyanka Srivastava has moved through bright to dull colours on purpose, so some areas glow while others sit back, much like light shifting across a landscape over a day.

What are the shapes in it?

White and navy feathers float over streaky strokes of rust, olive and teal, with an orange sun in the composition. The strokes are long and directional, and the feathers give the eye somewhere to rest. It reads as abstract up close and as a loose nature scene from across the room.

What is the size and medium?

It is acrylic on canvas, 30 x 24 inches. That is a good size for the main wall of a living room or bedroom, or above a sofa, bed or long console, where it can be the one large piece the room is built around.

Does it come framed?

It is unframed and comes on canvas board. You can choose a frame that matches your interiors, such as natural wood to pick up the rust and olive, or a slim dark frame to echo the navy feathers, or hang it as it is for a simpler look.

Is it a signed original?

Yes. It carries the artist's signature and comes with a certificate of authentication from Dr. Priyanka Srivastava of the Karnataka Chitrakala Parishath, Bangalore. The certificate confirms it as an original hand-painted work, which matters if you are buying it as a gift or adding it to a collection.

What kind of decor does it go with?

The earthy rust and olive with teal accents sit well with wood, jute, cane, leather and plants. In a room with white or beige walls it adds warmth and colour; with a rust or olive cushion or rug nearby, the painting ties the room together.
