Impressionist Art Work By Vincent van Gogh
Who is Vincent Willem Van Gogh?
Van Gogh is a painter of post-impressionism, and his artwork became posthumously one of the highest traded. The vibrant colors and the unique brushstroke bring an exceptionally dynamic and movement to the painting. Simultaneously the eye of the beholder merges the colors.
Turquoise throw pillows with a waved ripple pattern mimic, a peaceful and steady ripple of the sea rolling towards the shore. And are in the center of the decoration idea exploration with a modern white couch.
The color turquoise is associated with creativity and communication. Light turquoise reminds me of summer and the coolness of a dip into the sea.
Square pillows display the rippled pattern design in four variations. First, there is the differentiation between lightened and subdued shades of the repeat pattern. Second, the reduction to two colors of turquoise and black or white. Fourth, the pattern size returns different expressions too. Fifth and last, direction varies between horizontal, vertical, and diagonal.
Each direction shows ten color examples, including apart of turquoise the colors: yellow, grey, red, pink, purple, orange, brown, blue, and green. These form one collection that then shows the black, white, lightened, and subdued pattern in each pattern direction.
A feature that all examples have in common is the invitation to modify the fill color if it does not match your home decoration project requirement.

What is noteworthy about Wave Haven Raglan screenprint?
The numbered and signed screenprint shows a peaceful evening view where the observer experiences the sight of the surfer standing on the deck and enjoying the evening spectacle. Also, the scene includes a small single batch in grey-blue with pink accents. Green bush stretches on both sides of the building with an open view towards the sea. There evenly rolling turquoise green surf reaches the beach with a white crown. Meanwhile, the evening sky reflects its pink and blue hues in the distant water.
It is a peaceful scene that stands out in the mix of colors used that are so descriptive to New Zealand’s West Coast.
Raglan is a tourist destination that is famed for an active holiday filled with lots of outdoor activities such as surfing, horse riding, tracking, and kayaking.

The pillow surface pattern mirrors overlaying shapes that distinguish shades of yellow only to merge into a square.
Ellen Giggenbach, a New Zealand artist, however, uses this technique with more complexity.
She states explicitly in her own words: “Each design starts its life as an idea only. Piece by piece, it grows like a puzzle till even one more element would upset a carefully crafted balance of shape and color.”
Pink throw pillows are at the heart of the feminine living room decor exploration. Here playful styling examples around color combination with pink find their spotlight. Color blends for the styling examples are pink and grey, pink and orange, pink and green, pink and yellow, and pink and blue. In this instance, floral pillows showing a single monochrome rose are the styling props.
Furthermore, the flower pattern displays in hues subdued by shades of black on less saturated colors and more intensely saturated colors lightened by white.

Taranaki Cliffs canvas print by Diana Adams has the spot-light in the series Art Meets Pillows.
On walks, the painter finds her artistic inspiration. Once an inspiration takes roots, she then beautifully reduces her subject to its essence with clear lines like in the Taranaki Cliffs remain. With a three-dimensional feel to the painting, the observer feels pulled into a landscape with brilliant colors.
An overcast sky that opens-up and letting a hint of the sun through and envelopes the eroding ilands off the Taranaki Cliffs. Dark turquoise tinted surf is breaking white-crowned in steady ripples on the shore. In the meantime, the turquoise sea contrasts the greyish black sand beach and the volcanic-layered cliffs.
The top of the cliffs appears capped with the dark green of coastal shrubs. It is a captivating canvas print of one of New Zealand’s contemporary artists.

Art Meets Pillows, Wavy Stripes Pattern Design
Art Meet Pillows relates to the waves and stripes that are defined in the artwork. Wavy-stripes is a monochrome repeat pattern on the grey and green throw pillows.
The pattern reminds, in its horizontal direction, of layered stone, which intensifies through varying shades. Meanwhile, a diagonal direction on a green pillow reminds one of rolling waves.
Two orange throw pillows with a pixelated pattern are the focus of the decor exploration.
Both pillow print versions display a monochrome color mix. Their difference is one pattern has its colors lightened by white, while the second example shows them subdued by black. Since a geometric square pattern underlies the pixel effect, the pillows are versatile in their accommodation of various styles.
Orange Throw Pillows With Pixelated Pattern
However, the orange is exemplary. The complete series encompasses ten colorations. Among them, you find yellow, blue, red, pink, purple, green, grey, brown, and turquoise. Additional decor items such as block-colored affirmation cushions, round cushions, poufs, and blankets complete the whole collection.
Last, the best feature is helpful if the pattern pleases, but the coloration is off for your existing decor or your new decoration project. Choose a pillow color to color it your way by customizing the fill color.

Mangaweka art print by Robin White has the focus in Art Meets Pillows.
The painting, Mangaweka, is from 1973 and shows a teal-colored truck parking in front of a wooden building with yellow panels between green frames. Fringing the road, the building’s pedestrian cover separates the artwork into two halves. The ground floor is strictly oriented towards the street, while green hills and clear blue sky envelop the second level.
Born in 1946, Dame Robin White studied Fine Art in Auckland and is one of New Zealand’s most important printmakers.
Mangaweka by Robin White, Art Meets Pillows, Stripes & Checkers In Yellow & Green
Art Meet Pillows picked up on the rural atmosphere and on the dominant yellow and green color. With this, a wooden framed armchair shows a green and yellow pillow decor. Apart from the coloration the pillows too pick up on the wooden plank texture in their stripes and checker pattern.
Diane Adams is the painter of Beyond The Cascade art print. Adams is a well known contemporary New Zealand artist.
Hues in mud-brown, moss-green, and grey-blue dominate the print. Here, a landscape in the Southern Alps unfolds. Cabbage trees break up the front of the mountainous scene. And the cascade follows a meandering stream that leads the viewer towards the snow-capped Southern Alps at the horizon. The overcast sky takes the chance that the sun can light up the landscape’s dull coloration.
Beyond The Cascade is a new release by the artist, who loves hiking and gains her inspiration from her excursions. Many of her better-known prints are testimony to her passion for the beauty of New Zealand.
