Painting Themes - Soul of a Painting
By Rajneesh Dubey

There are so many admirers of paintings. But this admiration is not in general nature. People have become more particular about their choices of art work. A person who adores oil painting may not be the admirer of water color painting. Similarly, a person who reveres biblical paintings may not have any interest in paintings of the renaissance period. I want to assert here that theme is the most important feature of an art piece. It is the most essential element of the painting. It is the life of an art work. The theme of the painting gives an orientation to the creation.

There may be end number of themes in painting field. God and goddesses, animal figures, court scenes, romance, nature, mythology, literature, folk lore - almost everything in life and imagination can become the theme for a painting. For example in nature paintings, there are so many themes adopted like skyscapes, landscapes, riverscapes, seascapes etc. In landscape paintings again, there may be so many like Abstract Landscape Paintings, Acrylic Landscape Painting, American Landscape Painters, American Landscape Painting, Chinese Landscape Paintings, Landscape Oil Paintings, Urban Landscape Painting, Watercolor Landscape, Romantic Landscape Painting, Renaissance Landscape Paintings, and Oil Painting Landscape.

In case of oil paintings too, there can be so many sub themes. On the basis of medium too, painting themes are selected. Oil, watercolor, pastel colors, ink etc.
