If Shakespeare Can Draw Oil Painting
It is no doubt that Shakespeare is one of the greatest masters in the world of literature and art. His drama and sonnet have been popular with the public from his times till now. Readers can feel romantic atmosphere; they are always addicted into the fascinating scene that these amazing works create for them. Every time you read Shakespeare, you will experience a magic journey in poetry realm. Sometimes I have a special idea; I am curious that, if Shakespeare is a painter, what style oil painting would he create?
The first time I met Shakespeare was his Sonnet Eighteen, which is an amazing poem with an admiration on perfect artwork and brilliant scenery in hot summer. Its elegance, its grace, and its beauty...all the features of it can be peered with any art master's classicism landscape oil painting. Both literature master and art master have similar elegant demeanor, that is their interpretation on this mortal life and art has some kind of power which can grasp the soul of people. If Shakespeare can draw, he must be a unparallel artist such as Leonardo Da Vinci. And his immortal works for instance Hamlet, King Lear and so on, would be the eternal gifts as the stories on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel.
The God gives every gifted man different gift; he gives Shakespeare unmatched intuition on literature; he gives Da Vinci unrivalled comprehension on art. There are no absolute boundary between art and literature; if Shakespeare were destined as a painter, he would create wonderful oil painting no worse than Da Vinci.

Romantic Relationship in Art-The Kiss Oil Painting
Everyone has a dream of ideal love. Puppy love, fist love, and hidden love and so on; each kind of love is worth memorizing. Love is a natural instinct of both people and animals; love is some kind of innocent emotion. Therefore, full with innocence and beauty, love is always to be taken as the theme of art creation. Oil paintings featured in love seem attractive. Gustav Klimt’s The Kiss is an oil painting focused on love by depicting a pair of lovers’ affectionately kiss. Once you see this painting, you will be moved by the great tenderness spreading though the painting.
Its painter, Gustav Klimt , was a well-known Australian artist who concentrated on symbolism art creation. He had attempted similar subject of fulfillment before; The Kiss was created in the painter’s golden age. It shows viewers a couple is embracing each other wrapped in a bright yellow robes; the male image is kissing his woman with some kind of unruffled emotion. We can only see the happy and thankful facial expression; we can feel the austere love between woman and man. This painting is considered as “the kiss to the whole world”.

Light of Ration from Art-Classicism Oil Painting
Once referring art, we always think of romanticism, freedom, and sensitivities. Artists on our mind are romantic people; they usually do something as they like at any time including their art creation. It is seemingly that art has no business with ration. However, it is no doubt that there exists a ration period in art history. Yes, it is during the seventeenth to the nineteenth century; it is always called Age of Reason. At that time, even oil painting was painted depend on quite serious blue print.
Classicism oil paintings are focused on form and drawing technique. Before this period, artists often gave their creations elements as they wanted. Although there were various schools of oil painting, it was hard to find structured things in these artworks. Here I don’t have the purpose to say anything negative to other genre oil paintings. I just want to emphasize what is the most outstanding characteristic on classicism oil painting. Of course, rational outline and clear lineal can be easily found in classicism artworks. When get used to the random features, appreciating to a classicism work is enjoyable sake for you.
Maybe you like unchained art rhythm; but adding some ration color to art seems not bad. Attraction of mixture of ration and art is irresistible; that’s why classicism oil painting is still popular.

Not long before, the most authentic oil painting has come out, it is Munch's Scream; sold for more than one hundred million US dollars, it has become the most expensive painting in history. But no one knows how much Mona Lisa worth for, because no one looks it as a commodity.
Perhaps I prefer Renaissance oil painting on my mind. While I don't think some day people would auction Renaissance oil paintings in Louvre or on the vault of Sistine Chapel.

Comparison between Reality and Art-Images in Oil Painting
As an art lover, I have seen quantities of art works. Oil painting is my favorite art style. I'd like to study the color, hue, composition and images in Oil paintings. Peerless artists create their great paintings leading by intuition of their own conception on art and the inspiration from the reality. Each of the oil paintings is the crystallization of its painter's hardworking; each detail of genre oil painting is undergone a serious progress, especially the choice of images. Image can be considered as the soul of a painting. The decision on it is essential.
Choice of image is not like writing of an essay; it has no settled theme or title. Artists always have the idea on their art work in the first period after they experienced something unforgettable or impressed by some amazing nature scenery. When they have the ideal of oil painting, they usually have an impression from the reality on their mind. To achieve a completed art work, they have to shape the proper image for the art creation. Once the image is decided, the whole composition of the painting is set up. Then he can complete his painting stroke by stroke. Although the images we see are not alike its stereotype in reality, they are sublimations from reality indeed.
Images in oil painting may seem absurd, abstract and amazing; but they can be found in our everyday life. Perhaps that's why viewers would be moved by art, for elements in art are trifles around them.

Altering between Light and Shadow-Recognition about Hue in Oil Painting
Change of light in nature is variable. We can’t catch the tracks of light. On an afternoon of summer, we like to lie in a comfortable chair under the shade of a big tree; while we are enjoying the cool feeling the shade brings us, spots of sunlight spark on the ground. We like shadow when it is too bright; we like light when it is in dark. Alternation between light and shadow in nature is spontaneous; it is surprising that every alternation of light is satisfied to people. Artists are sensitive to this; therefore the light and shade are always focused on their oil painting creation.
Artists are pursuing for the perfect melting of light and shade; they want to convey the most natural alternation between light and shade just as what in nature. Many art masters, such as Paul Cezanne, Vincent van Gogh and etc, paid great attention to light of hue change.Monet is also a marvelous controller of light; he was always observing the change of light day by day. Monet was almost captivated by the nature light; he also brought his experience into his prominent impressionism oil painting for his great oil paintings were usually in a series.
Oil painting is some kind of essence rooted from nature and art. Either artists or art lovers recognize the magic alternation between light and shade in hue.

Conventional or Modern-Thought on American Oil Painting
Once we talk about America, we will easily think of modernism, high-tech and vanguard. Therefore it is hardly to think of something conventional especially in the aspect of oil painting. During more than two hundred year’s history, the United States created quantities of prominent contributions for human being. It is a young but super powerful country. Despite of its advanced development is every aspect of life; we always neglect art development there. In fact, from the time the United States set up, art and artists has been developing silently; there are quite many wonderful oil paintings as well.
Mentioning art in the USA, normal people may take it as modern and absurd for granted. Only these authentic art lovers and serious criticizers can tell you that there are several great American artists who feature in classical art style. For instance, John Singer Sargent is one of the earliest artists in America. He is regarded as the “leading portrait painter in his generation” for his excellent portrait oil paintings in Grand Manner. He had also made his name in Europe. Besides John Singer, Norman Rockwell is another outstanding artist. His artworks can be looked as local American art with a reflection on American culture. Norman Rockwell has influenced a whole century during art history.
All in all, if we want to be austere art lovers, we should appreciate art works around the world. Even modern America has conventional oil painting.

Searching for the Destination of Life-Lighthouse Oil Painting
Today I suddenly think of many things which happened before. More than twenty years has past in my life. My youth is going away silently. It is so cunning that it has witted all the process that how I spend my childhood and my adolescence without a word. It left me alone without destination. As an art lover, I have ever appreciated lots of oil paintings focused on various subjects. During these perplexed days, a lighthouse oil painting enlightens me. It is Lighthouse at Two Lights.
The Lighthouse at Two Lights is a quite concise and clean oil painting with clear objects in it. Its painter, Edward Hopper painted an azure blue sky with few clouds as its background; the lighthouse is in the front of the whole painting. Lucid and vivid background makes up the lighthouse and other things in the painting outstanding and attractive. This painting has a obvious outline. By the way, the artist, Edward Hoper, is a prominent American painter, who is well-known for his oil paintings. He is a prolific artist with quantities of pure and fresh artworks. This painting by him has some kind of power which can bring viewers encourage and hope.
Maybe I need to watch from a height of my life. Thanks to the lighthouse oil painting, I am all right now.

Pamper Imagination on Life, Nature and Art-Some Thought about Oil Painting
Almost each of us has ever dreamed of being a painter. It is no difficult to understand that why we admire of excellent painters and even ourselves want to be painters. Because we all have unforgettable memories and deep impressive trifles on mind; these previous enjoyments of mental will flash into our mind at times bringing surprise and inspiration to us. Therefore we have a strong desire to keep an authentic record of them. It is a pity that not all of us have the gift or the ability to put down them but real artists can. They can easily transfer what are touched into art style such as oil painting.
Although there are various styles of art, oil painting can be regarded as an outstanding one. Oil paintings can be created as long as there are pigments, brushes and canvas. When an easel is set up on a river bank or in an open prairie, it suggests the artist has the sense of art creating. Nature is best tutor to artists; it gives the most primitive and innocent inspiration to artists. Life is the touchstone for artists; it brings basic material of creation. An eligible artist is like a emissary from the God for he can alter the decree from nature and society to the populace.
In a word, oil painting is originated from life and nature; and it is the reflection on life and nature in an sublimated manner.

The Liberation from Stillness- Les Oiseaux Oil Painting
Although I have been an adult for several years, I haven’t enjoyed the pleasure of mature more. Instead, I find my troubles coming one by one gradually. These troubles never appeared in my childhood and teenager time. I want to return to my old good times. I feel depressive, and I want a blue sky which I can fly with freedom just like one oil painting I saw last week. It is Les Oiseaux, which is painted by Henri Matisse.
Henri Matisse is one of the most representative fauvism artists. As a French painter, inevitable romantic characteristics are full of his art works. As we all know, strong and sensitive feeling of color is the most obvious feature of fauvism oil painting from visual abstract. Matisse’s color is changeable and proper in his creations. He seemingly has a unique intuition on pigment. He is a Jack of all trades in fauvism art creation; besides painting, he has made great contribution on sculpture, printing and etc. His paintings are of all styles. He can make his colors as lumps; he can make his color wrathful with him; he can also make his color break out from peace, such as his Les Oiseaux.
Les Oiseaux, which means sky in English, is a lucid and lively oil painting. A line of birds are flying in the azure blue sky. They are likely flying to a free and merry realm. I am eager to flying with them badly. I think it’s time to release myself.

Wrath of Color-Fauvism Art Oil Painting
These days I have been addicted into changeable colors. Every day, I am sitting at my office desk to do a lot of trifle things one by one. I always feel dull and even irritated. I think my life is so machine-parse like, no better than the changeless objects in still life oil paintings. They at least have wonderful color and exquisite outline while I merely have pale hue in my life. I am badly eager to altering into some kind of life full of passion with all kinds of activities. I want the life filled in colorful things which can release depression, misery, and sorrow. It should be featured in a sense as what infauvism oil painting -passionate, bold and a little exaggerating.
I love fauvism oil painting for its hue, its expressive force, its unchained composition. Fauvism artists always have rare intuition on color; their usage of color is the most important technique in art creation. Sometimes they are used to choose heavy and strong pigment to convey their conception of creating. Strong color is commonly appearing in fauvism art works and it is more obviously to grasp the notice, but it is not the key of fauvism. Expression of color properly is the real key. For example, in Henri Matisse's Les Oiseaux, there isn't any heavy color in it; just a azure blue background and a line of flying white birds.
Bold but not exceedingly abreacted, colorful but not chaos, zeal but not crazy, is the feeling fauvism oil paintings bring to viewers. In fauvism art, the wrath of color burst in peace as usual.

Bold Rhythm of Life-Nature Color in Oil Painting
It is the last several days of May. Walking in the beautiful coastal city in this season, uncountable splendid flowers blossoming are smiling to pedestrians. Jade green groves are making up the bright-colored flowers still further lovely and outstanding. Especially after a rain fall, everything seems to be in a much fresher and clearer state. Such gorgeous and natural color is just like great master's oil painting, likewise, great master’s spontaneous color in the oil painting originated from nature. Quite many artists are good at dominating color, nevertheless, hardly one can release color just as flower which transfers message from colorful season.
Except for Vincent van Gogh, who is considered as an enthusiast of art and color. Van Gogh loves nature, loves earthy life, loves all kinds of colors. He has an awesome passion on art creating, a peerless observation ability on nature even every detail in nature, a stunning soul devoted to painting. Normal people can see and enjoy changeable colors in nature; normal artists can grasp and depict amazing colors in nature; but only Vincent Van Gogh, who is a nearly crazy color lover can liberate these colors and express them in his oil paintings exceedingly. His style seems rough usually at the first glance, but soon you will be addicted into his color world. There you can feel vivid lives, unchained melody and your bold soul.
We love Van Gogh not only for his brilliantimpressionism oil painting, but also for his pure and innocent soul which is the closest to angel. Although sleeping underground for already hundreds of years, Van Gogh lovers feel they live with him always.

The Reflection of Childhood-Children Oil Painting
Yesterday I saw a very lovely oil painting in the house of one of my friends. It is a reproduction of Paul Cezanne’s oil painting The Boy in the Red Vest. The boy in the painting is a teenager. He is in deep thought of something with his elbow putting on the table supporting his head. I find myself at that age from the perplexed expression from his eyes. I threw myself into a memory on my boyhood in that time. It is a unforgettable time to stir. And I admire of the expressive force of the artist.
The Boy in the Red Vest is a post-impressionism oil painting painted in 1888. Its painter, Paul Cezanne is a well-known French artist featured in post-impressionism style peered with Vincent Van Gogh. His greatest contribution is laying the foundation of the alternation from the nineteenth century conception of artistic endeavor to a brand new world of the twentieth century. He created many children paintings. The images in his paintings mostly seem quiet and peaceful, which gives viewers a reverie of the childhood of themselves. Therefore the copies and reproductions of his children oil painting are very popular among the populace.
I think I need to appreciate morechildren oil paintings of Cezanne for I have been at the age of recalling of my boyhood. Maybe I should have such an oil painting in my study.

An Attractive Oil Painting Full of Ranks of People
I have ever seen an oil painting entitled The Night Watch; the most impressive feature of it is the quantities of people from all walks, and nearly each of them is shaped likeness. It is a famous genre painting out of the seventeenth century of Dutch Baroque style. Its painter is Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn, who is regarded as one of the greatest painters and printmakers in European art history. He devoted himself into art creation of Baroque style. This oil painting is one of the most representative oil paintings of Baroque style.
This baroque oil painting is the height of Rembrandt van Rijin’s career. Painted in 1642, the colossal painting is a commissioned group portrait of a militia company. This portrait oil painting conventionally depicted their members in concise row or at a banquet. However, from the artist’s version, the prosaic subject is made into dynamic art painting; with its dramatic action, the conventions of traditional portraiture are overturned. The Night Watch conveys the captain of the guard as he is the leader of the yellow-cladlieutenant in rounding up the uniformed ranks.
It is surprising that every image is depicted so vivid. It is really an authentic likeness oil painting.

Real or Fantasy-Landscape in Art Oil Painting
Pure and beautiful landscape is always the oil painting subject of all kinds. Classicism landscape oil painting characterizes for its likeness; pointillism artworks are focused on romantic charm; fauvism painting shows its expressive force of color; abstract art conveys alternative aesthetic in unique manner. Usually landscape work is not difficult to understand no matter of what style it is. Because art work of this subject comes from nature, where is nearly not influenced by human society. Nature is always the origination of inspiration for artists. Almost all the artists can resist magic power of nature. This power stems from the most mysterious place where beings start.
When appreciate a landscape painting, viewers may try their best to think over where the amazing scene it is at first. Then, if they are patient and continue to try to figure out the painting's connotation, they will be addicted in the fairy atmosphere which the artist shaped in the oil painting. Therefore, to guess where the nature scenery has little meaning; what sense the painting brings is of great significance. Take Van Gogh 's creation for instance, the scenery in his paintings are mostly from the rural district he has ever lived even without name. But the most attractive thing is the artistic conception it gives you; as to the stereotype, it may not has such exceeding charming. Perhaps you will be desperate when you have a trip to a place where has been in a famous landscape painting.
Above all, to distinct from reality and fantasy seems misery. But in fact, reality is reality; it can't be a fairy land as what is in landscape oil paintings. However, landscape oil painting is some kind of sublimation from real nature scenery base on artists' worshipping of nature.

Musing in a Hot and Dry Summer’s Day-Still Life Oil Painting
More than a third of May has been past,
and the weather goes hotter and hotter. I can control my temper sometimes for
the damp and hot atmosphere after a quick rain fall. My heart and my body both
feel irritated; therefore I should find some way to calm down myself. Since
listening, reading and napping without help, I began to read randomly. It was a
still life oil painting by Paul Cezanne, which attracted me at the first
glance. I thought it was an enjoyment in visual and it brought me stillness and
beauty of peace in the dysphoria early summer.
The magic oil painting is Pears on a Chair,
which was painted in 1882. Paul Cezanne painted a period when he was just
attempting to make sense of impressionism’s implications for art creating and
its applicability for his own career. A pear on a Chair as a post-impressionism oil painting has a nearly perfect composition in Cezanne’s special distinctive
manner. This outstanding character made an influential philosopher considered
it as “patient hatchings”. Appreciating it carefully, we will be fascinated in
its charming vague outline and compatible color. It seems very simple either
its lineal or its composition. But no one can resist its attractive force.
The burning hot summer is coming; I am
going to buy an oil painting reproduction of Pears on a Chair.

Beauty of Non-mainstream-Images in Cubism Oil Painting
Yesterday I threw myself into a mediation on Pablo Picasso' famous oil painting The Weeping Woman. Although I am not a serious art criticizer, I've found special pattern of beauty by Picasso. Distinct from beauty of conventional conception, images in cubism oil paintings even can be looked as ugly for the first glance. The warped lineal and outline, the exaggerated expression and posture, the exceeding gorgeous color and hue...all the abnormal looking element of such style paintings not only make up ugliness and uncomforted in the surface, but also conveys primitive and innocent beauty.
Pablo Picasso and Georges Baroque found cubism movement together. And this movement had a great influence on nearly every field of art including painting, sculpture, literature, music and so on. Just like The Weeping Woman oil painting, images are always distorted, analyzed and re-assembled in absurd art form which can't be understood directly. The most distinctive characteristic of cubism is the spontaneous interpenetration of the background and objects. They always seem in one integrated mass.
Cubism oil painting has the most strongly expressive force among all the cubism art genres. No matter the women with all kinds of expressions or the geometrical color lump in these oil paintings has inevitable attraction. Filled with surrealism elements, charming of cubism art should be realized bit by bit.

Broken Heart of a Woman-Weeping Woman Oil Painting
Never there is an oil painting like The
Weeping Woman can have the strong and fierce expressive force which shakes
every viewer’s nerves. The Weeping Woman is a cubism oil painting painted by
Pablo Picasso in 1937. The woman image of this painting is Dora Maar, who is
said to be one of Picasso ’s long-term lovers. Her life experience is quite
complex and confused. She lived with Picasso for more than ten years. And she
has been a photographer and very active in lots of parties and activities. Her
goal is to be an outstanding professional painter. She has did great endeavor
all her life long.
The oil painting depicts a weeping woman’s
face in exaggerated and odd manner. The color and hue of it seem gorgeous and
bright. The woman in the painting is weeping so badly that her face is distorted;
her eyes, nose, and lips are all in exceedingly gay colors. For the first
glance, most of viewers would feel uncomfortable of its abnormal shapes. Pablo
Picasso has his own unique art technique and character. From The Weeping Woman
we find that, Picasso shaped an ugly image to express real beauty. It is no
doubt that every viewer finds the beauty from his excellent cubism art works.
The weeping woman in the oil painting is so
touched that each of us can feel her broken heart. I think it is the
fascinating of Picasso’s art, extraordinary, exaggerated but deep from soul.

Unchained Passion to Art-Color in Van Gogh Oil Painting
Most art lovers have interest in Van Gogh’s sunflower. Color, hue and light in Van Gogh’s oil painting always depicted in violent, bold and passionate manner. He is a prolific artist with quantities of amazing artworks, such as sunflower, wheat field, self portrait and so on. Most of these oil paintings are grouped into series, that is to say, each theme has a series of trivial distinctions. Either art lovers or criticizers are fascinated with his magic color. Although sometimes the color is even lump like, it has unparalleled attraction. Hardly anyone can help his deep love to Van Gogh’s color.
Nevertheless Van Gogh’s art creation belongs to Impressionism, there is great difference exists in it. Strong personal motion and expressive force from deep soul make Van Gogh’s oil painting distinct from other impressionism oil paintings. He is not only an artist, but also a gladiator in his life. He is a crazy man and a zeal painter. He throws himself into fanatical art creating with changeable colors and images. He is a worshipper of nature, so he concentrated on keep every sparkling detail on canvas. It is no doubt that every viewer would be attracted and touched by his The Café Terrace on the Place du Forum Arles, which oil painting gives people a fantasy starry night just like a dreamy fairy land.
Let’s enter into Van Gogh’s world and feel the unchained passion he brings us from his post-impressionism oil painting.

Reverie of Fluid Landscape-Monet Oil Painting
Landscape oil painting is originated from nature scenery. Most artists are worshipper of nature. They have much deeper sensitive feeling of amazing natural landscape. Therefore, they can get open enlightenment from nature; their authentic and austere love to nature exchange inspiration from nature. Each creation conveys essence of nature and admiration of nature. However, it is not easy to grasp changeable scenery and bring it into oil paintings. Although journey is a simple thing; observation on nature for days, weeks, months, and seasons is not a simple thing.
Quite many artists could stand long time working, but few ones could insist on observing capriccioso nature scenery. Claude Monet did it and devoted himself in viewing and creating restlessly along his life of art. Monet loves to depict irregular change of sceneries in a series of landscape oil paintings. He has never lost his interest in observing nature even a trivial change. His most well-known masterpiece Sunrise, Impression has its twin, that is Sunset. And he also created Water Lilies oil paintings, Haystack oil paintings and so on. They are series; what these artworks featured in is changeable light, shade, and hue. Light and color make up the soul of Monet’s art creations. He is a geek in using light and color.
Having been deserted and criticized ever, Monet himself is like the water lily in his oil painting; always being peaceful and graceful, he keeps his own art conception. With clinging passion, Monet contributes impressionism art eventually and his oil paintings are considered as the most exceeding representative among impressionism oil paintings.

Keep up with Time-the Persistence of Memory Oil Painting
We are always sighing for rapidly fluid time. Without any sense, time flies silently. It takes away nothing and hardly makes any change from our vision. Nevertheless, we will find that our faces no longer rosy; the surface of the favorite cup no longer fine and smooth; our parents no longer healthy...It is seemingly that all the things go changeable great in the twinkling of an eye. A gifted surrealism artist was once sensitive on ruthless time and created an exquisite oil painting focused on such topic. The painting is The Persistence of Memory, and its painter is Salvador Dali.
The Persistence of Memory depicts some images of soft melting pocket watches hanging on the branches of trees. Lots of viewers are supersized and curious at such images. Dali express his opinion on time in surrealism manner oriented on the theory of "softness" and "hardness". And he interpreted this oil painting like this:” The soft watches are an unconscious symbol of the relativity of space and time, a Surrealist meditation on the collapse of our notions of a fixed cosmic order". Although it is an abstract oil painting, viewers can see the connotation of it easily.
Except for this one, Salvador Dali had created several other oil paintings on the theme of time. As a surrealism painter, Dali's oil painting art is not too absurd. He has made great contribution to popular culture.

Abstraction Reflected from Everyday Life-Abstract Oil Painting
Recently I have taken great interest into abstract oil painting art. In fact I haven't been fond of artworks of such style for it always seems absurd and intangible. The color and hue of these oil paintings are usually expressed exceedingly dark or gorgeous; the lineal and outline are frequently in chaos. I couldn't understand such paintings then; sometimes I even felt confused on them. Maybe I was only a fake art lover before I've found a little connotation of abstract art. That is Composition, which is one of Wassily Kandinsky's famous masterpieces.
The first glance at Composition was in a lazy and dull afternoon. A ray of sunshine flashed out at times into the room. I sat by an old desk, struggled with a report which should be handed in as soon as possible. With thinking of nothing useful, I could hardly to continue my task. Feeling complex and even a little despair, I looked around unmindfully. When a picture in an opening book attracts me, it was more disordered than my mind. Staring at its all kinds of chaos in dark yellow, I found something compatible in it. All the vague images became clear and orderly to gather towards a common direction. A fresh idea flashed into my poor brain. I had the solution.
From then on, I am falling into a habit on appreciating abstract oil paintings. That is to say, the entire abstract oil painting artists get their inspiration originated from everyday life. They abstract quintessence from normal things. Without expressive beauty, significance and apperception are the most valuable artistry of abstract oil painting.

Especially when we travel to well-known mountains and great rivers in spare time, they are always praising and sighing for the magnificent natural landscape.

We have to confirm that our dear nature around us transferring some kind of easy-affected potential power always.

Completed in 1898 perfectly, this amazing painting was initiated by its zeal painter and given to this typical title. Gauguin wanted every viewer to learn the significance of his work.
When had realized the dream of such a fantasy oil painting, Gauguin had tried to have a suicide for his freaking out heart.

Pablo Picasso and his Resounding Cubism Oil Painting
Recently, I have to
keep my interest on the great art master, Pablo Picasso and his cubism oil
painting. Because after reading lots of passages and news about his amazing
art creations, some kind of nameless art charming attracts me from the deep soul.
Hardly have I had such feeling on art works before. Of course, there is never
lack of Pablo Picasso’s enthusiasts; however, who has studied on the progress on
cubism? Thinking over about this art creation, I throw myself into a deep muse on Picasso who I have gotten to learn.
In
fact, the term cubism was originated from some negative comment on Picasso’s
oil paintings exhibited in the exhibition in Paris of 1908. After the cubism oil painting
exhibition in Paris,
even Matisse made some mild anti-Picasso words. But when the word cubism came
up to face to the world, artists, art critics, and art lovers were all addicted
into such a magic art style. And what happened subsequently was quite obvious;
Cubism oil painting made a front-page influence on the whole Western art
history. Even till now, all of us usually take delight in talking about cubism.
In a
conclusion, we can never predict what will happen to a brand new school from
Picasso and his oil paintings in cubism manner. It is the same to life; you can hardly
enjoy the piquant flavor of mustard only if you insist on tasting it yourself.

The Scream is one of the most impressive oil paintings on many art lovers’ mind. It is one of the most familiar figures in artworks of modernism style. The origination of this oil painting stemmed from a awful panic attack suffered by the artist in the year of 1892. Its painter, Edvard Munch once said, “The sun was setting and the clouds turned as red as blood. I sensed a scream passing through nature. I felt as though I could actually hear the scream. I painted this picture, painted the clouds like real blood. The colors shrieked.”
The artist of The Scream is Edvard Munch, who was a Norwegian painter and an essential forerunner of expressionism oil painting. His best known masterpiece is The Scream, which is from a series of The Frieze of Life, in which Munch explored the topics on love, fear, death, melancholia, and anxiety. The artist represented the scream through a series of undulating lines that pressed in on the figure like shock waves, reducing its face to a primal figure of utmost fear. Munch once wrote on a copy of this oil painting, “Could only have been painted by a madman.”
The Scream is an oil painting which indeed touches the weakest line deep in people’s soul. Nowadays almost everyone has his of her own misery, that is to say, we may find out some brand new significance from it.

Moon-like Roman and Greek Fairies in Oil Painting
It is considered that European culture is originated from ancient Greek and Roman. Legend of gods and goddess plays an essential role in the European culture. From the time that painting came up, artworks focused on mythology are created by artists generation by generation. These eternal mythology oil paintings are like diamonds which depict not only amazing grace of fairies but also human beauty reflected by them. Especially goddess oil painting, it is beloved by many aesthetics worshipers.
We can only imagine the image of goddess from the description in mythologies, but gifted artists can shape a tangible figure for her on their masterpieces. Maybe most of us have thought that goddesses are unique and free from vulgarity, therefore they can just exist in fantasy. Nevertheless, when people who love both legend and art see the wonderful creation on goddess, all of them will get a big surprise. For the goddess in oil painting seems so graceful and so lifelike, that for one hand viewers may think they are some beauties among the earth people; for another hand they are not real human being, because they have the purest expression.
Pursuit of aesthetics either of earth beauty or of heaven beauty is one great interest and vocation for artists. They are looking for beauty, trying to keep beauty and at last shape a figure for beauty on oil painting all life long. It is no doubt that goddess oil painting is the best representative of transition from fantasy to real beauty.

Impressionism artwork is the favor of most art lovers from generation to generation. Claude Monet is no doubt the founder of impressionism, and he is virtually synonymous with this artistic movement of impressionism. The name of impressionism is deprived from the oil painting entitled Impression, Sunrise in 1873. Monet’s Haystack series was created between 1890 and 1891. These oil paintings convey the passion of its artist for rendering his daily experience.
The stack in oil painting stands straightly behind Monet’s house in Giverny. The series can be considered as a whole tracks the effects light, both seasonal and changeable in different times on the day. In Haystack at Sunset, Frosty Weather, the haystack occupies the left ground of the picture close to the horizon line. This subtle lifts the painting from being only a naturalistic work to something which is totally more abstract. Another outstanding one of this series can be Haystack in the Morning, Snow Effect. Even has many similarities, this painting has a dark shape of the haystack is covered in the gelid light of a winter afternoon. The winter sun is low with behind coming light.
Of course, the Haystack series has not only the two mentioned above. It is a representative for light rendering in impressionism oil painting. When being fascinated in the beautiful rural scene of France, having an insight on art technique and expression force can elevate the art sake indeed.

Beautiful, Amazing, and Peerless Blossomed Flower-Oil Painting of Venus
As we all know, Venus is the goodness of love and beauty in ancient Roman mythology, and in Greek mythology, she is called Aphrodite. From long long ago till now, artists try to keep the unparalleled beauty that standing aloof from the life. Generation by generation, respectful diligent western artists created quite a lot of oil painting for Venus with their gifted technique and typical interpretation on art and aesthetic. There are many splendid Venus oil paintings in art history, but only one of them is beloved by me especially.It is Birth of Venus, an amazing oil painting by Sandro Botticelli, who was an Italian artist of the Florentine School in renaissance times. In Roman myth, goodness Venus's birth can be considered as a miracle even in Divine Divinity. When her father was in the danger of being castrated by Titan Cronus, she was conceived; Venus emerged from the sea from a shell, and lands at Paphos in Cyprus. Two winds blow her to the shore, and the moment a nymph is poised to pack a cloak, modified with floral plant which around the goodness. Birth of Venus is created by its artist to describe the dramatic moment.
After gave birth to Birth of Venus, whenever Sandro Botticelli is referred, the Venus oil painting will come up firstly in art lovers' thought.

Conventional Chinese painting with a history over thousands of years is deep loved by people in the oriental. Nowadays, oil painting is introduced into Asia and other oriental districts and is popular with more and more people. However, a controversy on oil painting and Chinese painting occurs. Some people prefer oil painting, but the other ones think Chinese painting can be considered as authentic art indeed. Here are the differences from the two great arts:
Ⅰ.Chinese painting is featured in line lea and painted by quantities of line leas so as to protrude the outline of figures. Nevertheless, oil painting artist always created their artworks using few lines or even without using any line.
Ⅱ.Chinese painter hardly notices perspective in the painting; despite of this, western oil painting is usually focused on perspective and distant view. Western painters think a lot of fidelity while Chinese painters pay more attention to spirit of art.
Ⅲ.Chinese artist nearly do not get to know anatomy let alone under its influence on paint; Western painter get much knowledge of anatomy with bring it into application of his art creating. So viewers can only appreciate all kinds of expressions without lifelike image. But they can get surprised on the vivid portrait oil painting just as photo.
From the three main differences related above can you choose which you prefer better from Chinese paintings and oil paintings on canvas?

Little Things but Great Significance-Impression on Oil Painting
Even though I have ended my student life two years before, I dream of my university life as usual. Professors, my dear fellows and faculty building are the common subtle things come up in my dream very frequently. Every time I come back to our old dear faculty building in my dream, oil paintings on the wall along the stairs is the first souvenir to welcome me. Just like my good old friends, although it cannot speak, I can receive tender feelings it brings to me. Here I think of a pretty vivid thing in my university time.
That was the end of the fifth semester in my university time, and in the examination week we were suddenly told that a reciting exam would be added in the compulsory exams. All the guys were in chaos because we were given a pamphlet with fifty essays which were required to keep in heart. The black day came ultimately; none of us was in his or her normality. When we were waiting to be called like stiff stones, a vivid fellow bursted into laughter and said, "Look, the old chap in the oil painting is so funny!" Nearly all the ones' attention altered to the old man portrait oil painting at once. And then we began to talk about these paintings; spontaneously the tense atmosphere was dissipated.
Of course, at last all of us got through the occasional disgusting exam under a threatening but no dangerous situation. Now whenever I meet with trouble, the amusing old man in the oil painting will appears in my mind seemingly saying "take it easy" to me.

The Enlightening Man of Art-Impression on Oil Painting
Continue to recollect my university life. This time, this moment, the hero of my reminiscence is my professor of European culture, Mr. Lu. He is one of the most captivating men I have ever come into contact with, And not only I myself but also all my good old guys are fascinated by him. It is interesting that students in our faculty always argue about what is the most attractive moment in his class. Someone think it is when he displaying the essence of western music, but the other regard his interpretation on classical oil painting is pretty fantastic.
For me, I was touched at one fell swoop by him when he gave a lecture on classical oil painting passionately. It was a merry afternoon; the time when we set foot in our classroom we felt the fatherly eye contact on each of us. Our dearest Sir began our class with a deep and magnetic voice. He told us how to catch the spotlight of an oil painting, concisely and meaningfully. He said if we have chance, all of us should appreciate the art of human body by our heart. Never had been an elder suggested on human body. Even I was a boy, I felt shy then. But when I saw a nude oil painting by Da Vinci, HomoVitruvianus, I was shocked by the amazing art.
From then on, I have kept the hobby of appreciating oil paintings. Sometimes I can’t understand an oil painting by art masters, however, I can feel the inspiration it brings to me; it is the pure substance from soul transferred by its creator.

The Power Bracing Deep Soul-Impression on Oil Painting
It is a story about one of my good old friends during my university life. Although we hardly meet each other frequently now, he is always on my mind, especially his hearty laugh, which is so moving that all of us can be touched spontaneously. But no one knows the story behind; what a tough childhood he experienced. His mother was gone even when his was at his fourth year. The only souvenir he got from his mother was an ironic caddy with his mother's portrait oil painting in it. He said, all the courage was come from the little caddy.
In our university time, he was an active and easy-going guy who was sought after by almost the whole mates. And nearly all of the professors paid special regard to him. He was just like a merry carrier; wherever he went, laughter and spirit came together. One rainy day, I saw him staying in the rain alone with obscure expression. I walked to him and pulled his right arm to taking him inside. When we were sitting face to face in the dorm, I found his tears shed without control. "I miss my mother, I miss her very very much, and I badly miss her…" he choked with sobs and told me that it was mother’s portrait to support him to live with a strong heart. I was shocked then; because I thought he was a well breeding boy by his mom from infant till now. He was so kind, and so hopeful a boy that no one would believe he had to undergo such misery all by himself.
Several years past, I keep the scene above all the time. Close kin may leave us for paradise, but the things they leave us can be the embodiment, just like my friend’s little oil painting , which can brace us.

A Section of Commemoration on University Life-Impression on Oil Painting
I have been out of my university for nearly two years. Now I stay in another city which is too far away from my old school. Every day I lived a stereotyped life with working for eight hours; so dull, so tired, and so uninteresting that I hardly smile as when I was in university times. What always on my mind is a series of oil painting on the wall along the stairs in the official building of our faculty. None of the oil paintings is authentic famous works, it is only reproduction. However, each of the paintings has poetry on it, which is written by our teachers.
Not famous paintings with not well-known poetry can reluctantly to be considered as artwork. Because of lacking of money, the canvas seems even in poor quality. Whenever we walked along the stairs, almost each of us would slow our paces and paid attention to oil paintings on the wall. Year after year, when the last semester was likely to say goodbye, we realized that we were going to say goodbye to our old dear faculty building. Afterwards, group by group fellows took group photo in front of the building. The day when we got graduation certification, nearly all of us could help crying.
We left at last. But the oil painting and the old building make up eternal commemorations in soul for life long.
