What is the definition of cool? Not warm or cold? Certainly, but to ask a person to define cool depends solely upon whom you ask and why. The word conjures a breeze, calmness, serenity, simply by being spoken. Mentally cool is different from person to person, but can generally be the simple act of being tranquil, interesting, relaxed, confidant, graceful, or having the ability to bring calm to tense situations. Ask people what their definition of cool is and most will close their eyes, take a deep breath, and begin to describe what their version of cool is or what puts them in the cool condition.
What is the definition of a cool canvas? Whatever image or images that bring that sensation to others when they gaze upon it. Something that makes people pause for a moment to take that deep breath and relax their busy minds and simply be. Just as with beauty, cool is in the vision, mind, and heart of the beholder. A skier gracefully dancing down an icy mountainside, a mother duck as she gathers her babies to glide effortlessly across the lake, a covered bridge over a shady brook, a thoroughbred gracefully moving across an open field, a person who inspires serenity and hope. All of these images and thousands more can be captured and flawlessly transformed into a canvas that can be enjoyed and passed along for many generations.
Cool canvas prints can also be a bold statement of what younger people believe to be cool. A high-speed motorcycle or car, that perfect glance from the most beautiful blue eyes in the world, the crisp lines of a glider across a perfect sky. Cool can be relaxed, but can also be daring, valiant, and vibrant covering many facets of our lives and our visions.
Cool canvas prints do not have to be defined by one photo or image, but can be a collage of similar ideas or a split canvas grouping that can be combined with other visual and decorating elements to produce a stunning display. Exciting bold colors, or muted sepia tones can produce an image of cool, for any purpose or decorating scheme. But for some, the concept of cool is so perfectly encased in a person, that the mere image of that person brings the feeling of cool to the viewer. Black and white can capture a portrait of cool that can be held in stories and passed from generation to generation.
Give the gift of cool to someone you love.
