Hi all,

I have done a conversion of the "Commissioned By Kings" sculpture from the new Palace of Versailles set.  I was a bit disappointed that this was a sculpture and not a painting to hang on the wall...........so I made it into a painting you can hang on the wall and have called it "Commissioned by Kings - Rococo Painting".

The paintings depicted are those by one of the great French Rococo painters, François Boucher (1703 - 1770).  François Boucher was a French painter, a proponent of Rococo taste, know for his idyllic and voluptuous paintings on classical themes, decorative allegories representing the arts or pastoral occupation, intended as a sort of two-dimensional furniture.  He was perhaps the most celebrated decorative artist of the 18th century.  He also painted several portraits of his illustrious patroness, Madame de Pompadour.

This is a two tile painting that is base game compatible.  Of course, full credit to EA Games for the mesh.  This painting has 3 colour channels too.

Hope you like!

Hi everyone,

Today I have a set of six paintings by Claude Monet called "Monet Fancy Frame Paintings". These took a bit to figure out, but I think they turned out not to bad.  I could have fit all six on the preview, but the detail was lost, so I have four shown so you can see the detail.

Ah, Monet........one of my favorite artists ever!

Claude Monet (1840 - 1926) was a founder of French impressionist painting, and the most consistent and prolific practitioner of the movement's philosophy of expressing one's perceptions before nature, especially as applied to plein-air (open air) landscape painting.  The term Impressionism is derived from the title of his painting "Impression, Sunrise".

These are two tile paintings and are base game compatible.

Hi everyone,

Today I have a set of six Paul Cézanne landscape paintings called "Cézanne Landscapes".

Paul Cézanne (1839 - 1906) was a French artist and Post-Impressionist painter whose work laid the foundations of the transition from the 19th century conception of artistic endeavour to a new and radically different world of art in the 20th century.  Cézanne can be said to form the bridge between late 19th century impressionism and the early 20th century's new line of artistic enquiry, Cubism.  The line attributed to both Matisse and Picasso that Cézanne "is the father of us all" cannot be easily dismissed.

Cézanne's often repetitive, exploratory brushstrokes are highly characteristic and clearly recognizable.  He used planes of colour and small brushstrokes that build up to form complex fields.

This is a two tile painting that is base game compatible.

Hope you enjoy!

Hey all,

Today I have another set of nine paintings that are two tile in size called "Down By The Sea".

I love these paintings in that you can almost hear the thunder of the waves, and feel the salty spray on your face.  As beautiful as these are, what also comes across in these paintings is the powerful strength of the waves that warns us also to treat the sea with respect.

These are base game compatible.

Hope you enjoy!

Hi everyone,

Today I have a set of six three tile paintings called "Dutch Baroque Still Life".

The tradition of still life painting has been around since antiquity, and example of this form of paintings can be found in almost every culture. The popularity of still life is immense, making it very hard to understand why many through out the history of art have excluded it from the category of high arts.

The hierarchy that had developed established that history and religious painting were considered the highest style of painting, while portraiture, scenes of everyday life, animal paintings, landscapes and still life were considered minor forms of art.

These “minor” forms of art were executed by highly talented artists, using the same sophisticated techniques as those used in the more highly regarded fields of history and religious painting.  Artists who chose to create still life paintings carefully selected, studied, grouped, and depicted the objects in their works in order to present to their viewer highly realistic images. Still life painting was highly popular among members of all social classes and were often purchased at extremely high prices.

During the Baroque period, masters of still life from Italy, France, Flanders, Holland and Spain painted still life scenes of fruit, flower pieces, musical instruments, fish and game, and vessels used in the household. These objects were painted with the utmost realism but with all the dedication and seriousness that had once been reserved for the human form.

This is base game compatible.

As always I hope you enjoy!
