Multicolored Landscape Paintings

Scott Naismith's Vibrant Depictions of Scotland are Breathtaking

— August 3, 2013 — Art & Design
When asked about the weather in Scotland, not many people would refer to it as beautiful, but the landscape paintings from Scott Naismith beg to differ. With the cloudy weather being cast with a vibrant array of colors the otherwise dreary weather is shown in a new light.

It's always difficult to transform something that has a negative connotation into a beautiful work of art that literally paints a new picture. What Glasgow artist Scott Naismith has done is a remarkable feat, as his landscape paintings manage to be both vivid and hazy at the same time. As to why Naismith targets clouds for his paintings, he states on his site that clouds "have the ability to refract and reflect, creating an ever changing perception of light which inspires my use of color."
Trend Themes
1. Vibrant Landscape Art - There is a growing trend towards using bold colors in landscape art which presents an opportunity for artists and galleries to experiment with color usage
2. Weather-inspired Art - Artists who create works inspired by weather, such as clouds and storms, have a unique innovation opportunity to create stunning pieces that transform what is considered 'dreary' into something beautiful
3. Hazy, Dreamlike Art - There is a trend towards ethereal, hazy, and dreamlike art in various mediums, including landscape paintings, presenting a chance for artists to explore new techniques and experiment with creating surreal and captivating works
Industry Implications
1. Art & Design - Artists and designers can capitalize on the trend towards vibrant, weather-inspired art by creating new works that challenge viewers' perceptions of beauty
2. Tourism - Travel destinations can inspire and commission artists to create weather-inspired art that showcases the beauty of the landscapes and weather patterns in their region
3. Home Decor - The trend towards hazy, dreamlike art can be capitalized on by home decor companies as consumers seek to create calming and serene spaces in their homes
