4 Stunning Paintings of Nature That Take the Center Limelight

January 09, 2023

Streaming Sunset is an original oil painting by artist, Clifford Bailey.

From smiles to tears, original art can make us feel so many different emotions. Some experiences are simple, while others are much more complicated. Like an amazing scene in a movie or a glimpse of a rare sighting outdoors, there are moments when art takes our breath away. These paintings hit this feeling very close, and we’re excited to share them with you. We’ll try to describe them with words to the best of our ability!

Inlet by Charles Rowe

The swirling waters in this oil painting look so realistic it feels like you can hear the lapping waves. The coastal lighting and reflection is remarkably akin to a photograph. One’s imagination can easily go on a walking adventure here, or perhaps make a nice spot to break for a beach lunch. The best part? Five star waterfront views!

Eagle Lake by Travis Humphreys

Eagle Lake oil painting by artist, Travis Humphreys.

Speaking of winning water views, this peaceful mountain lake is nothing short of spectacular. It’s the perfect excuse for your mind to get lost. Gaze upon the lake’s crisp blue colors and the mountains’ majestic peaks no matter where you are! What’s more, the beautiful neutral frame complements the pine forest and is custom made by the artist.

Worlds Upon Worlds by Lee Mims

This gorgeous painting is the perfect marriage between abstract and realism. If that sounds impossible, you must simply see it for yourself. Two tundra swans soar over a forest against a misty backdrop. But wait! Take another look, and each of the trees now look like planets waiting to be explored. It’s out of this world!

Streaming Sunset by Clifford Bailey

Nothing beats a day of marvelous sightseeing like a good sunset. And it looks like this humble pasture is graced to witness this daily miracle in the sky. We love how the dark subdued frame allows the viewer to focus on the dramatic scene. Fiery reflections in the water, mist, and clouds further highlight the fantastic color show. Real sunsets only last for a few minutes, but thanks to the power of art, this one is capable of lasting a whole lifetime.
