Oil Paintings along with other forms of art offer us endless inspiration and new direction for our surroundings. I\u2019ve always believed that the framework of a beautiful design is hiding in that one piece that you view as extra special.   We just have to take a look around us and start with the art! <\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.overstockart.com\/painting\/expectation-325080515\">Expectation; by Gustav Klimt<\/a> is a phenomenal piece of work to examine when in need of creative motivation.  Klimt was considered an artist of Art Nouveau, although his technique encompassed a variation of style.  This one in particular has a very distinct Egyptian feel\u2014the figure seemingly two dimensional with the head turned at a nearly impossible angle.  We recognize a resemblance of the Eye of Ra both in the background and in the woman\u2019s dress.  A perfect balance of organic and geometric shapes along with vibrant color makes this piece complex and captivating.  With a good eye, and some treasure hunting, your interior can be the same!<br \/>\nSuch a royal color palette calls for bold furnishings and mediums. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"style2\">Look for designs that overlap or repeat one another. Find furnishings that reflect the shapes in the piece\u2014triangles, spirals, lines, knots, etc. Egyptian-like statues, pottery, and angular woodwork will contribute! Curvaceous patterns compliment Expectation. The work seems to flow within itself as if the figure dances before a warm and blustering wind\u2014keep this in mind. Motion in stillness is the key element in this masterpiece. Applied to your interior this will have a peaceful yet striking impact! <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Who says that the design always comes before the art?
