Olives may seem like a random object to construe in a painting, but many artists have found a creative ways to depict this common little item. Whether you are looking for a complementary painting for your bar area, or a simple detail to your kitchen , the pictures of framed olive art piece can add an interesting flair or be a conversation starter. There are quite a few options for framed olive art shoppers: bold or subtle.
One infamous “olive artist” is Michael Goddard, whose paintings include bold colors and interesting subject matter. Not only has he painted the olive on the canvas, but also he includes active little mice, or he personifies the olives. He makes his foreground items really pop by providing a plain black background. Goddard’s paintings of olives make you want to stop and observe the story he is telling through his work. If you like Goddard’s work, consider another artist with similar work: Ray Pelley. He also utilizes the black background to contrast the clear glasses and brightly colored olive.
Another olive artist is Rebecca Lyon. As one can observe, her paintings reference olives by tying in the idea of olive oil, rather than the olives by themselves Her framed paintings of olives differ from Goddard in that they include common household items like bottle pourers one may use for olive oil. Also, her work doesn’t provide bold colors or a stark contrast in foreground and background. Additionally, she includes warm colors like reds, purples, and light browns that are less bold than Goddard’s blunt black background.
Delphine Corbin has painted olives by including its origin: the olive branch. Also, she ties in colors like warm red/brown, green, and tan to give the painting an overall neutral look. Corbin’s paintings are the complete opposite of Goddard and Pelley. Although her olive branch is darker than the background, it may not be the first part viewers are drawn to. She has allowed her viewers to look over the entire painting and its details, rather than forcing the viewer to one focal point. This allows the viewer to find hidden details that he can make work within whatever setting he likes.
