Landscape paintings weren't always as popular as they are now. When they were first being created in the western parts of the world during the late 15th century... landscapes were considered low in the art academy’s rigid hierarchy of subject matter. Luckily we have come to appreciate their beauty in the many years that followed. "That Time Between Summer and Fall" by @dominiquecinqmarsdelay is available at www.artdistrictgallery.org or use the link in our bio. #kwartist #canadianartist #artincanada #waterlooartscene #arteveryday #onlineexhibitioin #fineart #contemporaryart #waterlooart #supportlocalartists #originalart #decor #buylocalart #contemporaryart #collectart #kwawesome See more

The philosopher Aristotle once wrote that "Art not only imitates nature, but it also completes its deficiencies." This can be interpreted as art not only recreating the natural world but also creating new ways in which to see it in another light. In other words, art is the missing voice of what nature lacks to speak. "Colours of the Forest" by @Nancy.Peng is a radiant and vivid depiction of nature and is available at www.artdistrictgallery.org or use the link in our bio. #kwartist #canadianartist #artincanada #waterlooartscene #arteveryday #onlineexhibitioin #fineart #contemporaryart #waterlooart #supportlocalartists #originalart #decor #buylocalart #contemporaryart #collectart #kwawesome

Encaustic painting is a mixed media technique that involves using heated beeswax to which pigments have been added. The liquid/paste is then applied to a surface. The term is derived from Greek, meaning a burning in. "Listen" by Faith Hieblinger is giving us magical winter's day vibes. This encaustic painting shows off amazing texture and movement.

Amongst all of the machine-made items in our homes, it’s nice to have something that can effortlessly bring life back into a room. With a work of art, you can sense the time, effort, and skill that went into its creation. You may have even gotten the chance to meet the artist in person or hear the story behind the work. Even if you haven’t met the artist in person, seeing the fingerprints, brush strokes or marks on the work serves as a reminder of the person behind the work o...f art. Bring some life into your home with art made by local artists at www.artdistrictgallery.org or use the link in our bio. #kwartist #canadianartist #artincanada #waterlooartscene #arteveryday #onlineexhibitioin #fineart #contemporaryart #waterlooart #supportlocalartists #originalart #decor #buylocalart #contemporaryart #collectart #kwawesome See more

"Art can teach you things if you listen, just as celebrating an animal can be an invitation to learn more about them. I ended up learning that the Great Plains, which includes 2 Canadian Provinces, is one of the world's most threatened natural systems and is as important as the Amazon or Arctic. I also learned about Canada and US governments' brutal campaign to eradicate the Bison and the native cultures that relied on it. I want to celebration the bison and invite ...all to learn more about them." - Christy Winegarden REVERANCE by @winegardenphoto is a grand photograph that is available in two sizes from www.artdistrictgallery.org or use the link in our bio to take a look. #kwartist #canadianartist #artincanada #waterlooartscene #arteveryday #onlineexhibitioin #fineart #contemporaryart #waterlooart #supportlocalartists #originalart #decor #buylocalart #contemporaryart #collectart #kwawesome See more

"Influenced by the painter Homer Watson, I seek to capture the joy and challenges of life using nature, in all her rage and beauty. I have found that working in a combination of oils, acrylics and sometimes wax, adds a transparency that is both honest and intimate." - Faith Hieblinger LATE SUMMER GARDEN by Faith Hieblinger is a gorgeous floral painting full of drama.

You shouldn't forget about artwork in the bathroom, as it’s a room that you use everyday. Artwork looks great in pairs here: pick two similar prints to go above the toilet or towel hooks. Small or medium-sized pieces work best, but match the size of the bathroom. Also the artwork you choose should go with the vibe of the bathroom. If it's a powder room on the main level, you should stick to more fun and bright pieces. If it's a master bath, go with more serene or calming pieces. Go to www.artdistrictgallery.org or use the link in our bio to find the perfect piece for your bathroom. #kwartist #canadianartist #artincanada #waterlooartscene #arteveryday #onlineexhibitioin #fineart #contemporaryart #waterlooart #supportlocalartists #originalart #decor #buylocalart #contemporaryart #collectart #kwawesome

"I was making pieces based on the elements (fire, water, earth, air, and aether) and for a representation of the element Earth I choose to use colour as a jumping off point. I went with greens and I purposefully named it with a word that is closely associated with the colour. When greed and green are paired together the implication is money and commodity, then mix that with images of flora and fauna and I think it creates an interesting study for the viewer. I created this pi...ece in a positive light, but I think it can easily be interpreted in many different ways." - The Dead Ant GREED by @thedeadant is a paper collage that is coated with resin giving it a beautiful, colour popping shine.
