By Artist Donna Hall: Oil on Canvas, 25" x 30". Graphics are visual presentations on various surfaces, such as walls, canvas, computer screens, paper, or stone, used for branding, informing, illustrating, or entertaining. Examples include photographs, drawings, line art, graphs, diagrams, typography, numbers, symbols, geometric designs, maps, engineering drawings, or other images. Graphics often combine text, illustration, and color. Graphic design may involve the deliberate selection, creation, or arrangement of typography alone, as seen in brochures, flyers, posters, or books without any other elements. The objective may be clarity or effective communication, seeking association with other cultural elements, or simply the creation of a distinctive style. Graphics can serve functional or artistic purposes. At our establishment, we specialize in high-end luxury fine art and collectibles sourced from private estates.

"Aerial painting," which typically involves creating artworks that depict scenes from an elevated or aerial perspective. This style has evolved over time, adapting to changes in technology and artistic expression. In the early history of art, artists often depicted landscapes from ground level, as the means to capture an aerial perspective were limited. However, as technology advanced, particularly with the development of aviation and photography, artists gained new tools to explore and depict scenes from above. A notable shift towards aerial perspectives occurred in the early 20th century. Avant-garde movements, such as Cubism and Futurism, were experimenting with dynamic compositions and unconventional viewpoints. Artists like Umberto Boccioni and Kazimir Malevich explored the abstraction of forms, hinting at the possibility of aerial views. With the advent of aerial photography during the 20th century, artists had direct access to bird's-eye views. This influenced various art movements, including Precisionism and Photorealism. Artists began incorporating aerial perspectives to offer unique and often abstracted views of landscapes, cities, and natural formations. Contemporary artists continue to explore aerial views, utilizing a range of mediums, from traditional painting to digital art. The history of aerial painting reflects not only artistic innovation but also the broader cultural and technological changes that have shaped our perception of space and landscape.

Oil painting is the process of painting with pigments that are bound with a medium of drying oil — especially in early modern Europe, linseed oil. Often an oil such as linseed was boiled with a resin such as pine resin or even frankincense; these were called 'varnishes' and were prized for their body and gloss. Other oils occasionally used include poppyseed oil, walnut oil, and safflower oil. These oils confer various properties to the oil paint, such as less yellowing or different drying times. Certain differences are also visible in the sheen of the paints depending on the oil. Painters often use different oils in the same painting depending on specific pigments and effects desired. The paints themselves also develop a particular feel depending on the medium.
