Palm Frond Art Images, Photos, Pictures
Palm Frond Art: A unique art form using a combination of palm trees (also known as palmae or arecaceae) and decorative painting. This creative mixed media, object-based art is great for home decorating, and gift giving because of the uniqueness of each painting. "Palm frond paintings are tactile and people are actually compelled to reach out and touch and examine the unusual surface of these paintings." Sonia's "Palm Frond Art" works of art falls under the categories of green art, environmental art, eco-friendly art, or earth art.
Painting Palm Fronds: As a palm tree grows the palm branches (frond branch, leaf branch) dry out allowing new branches to grow. The palm frond branches are then trimmed from the tree after showing no green (no longer feeding nutrients to the palm), leaving a natural wood shell at the base of the palm branch (also referred to as the palm boot, palm husk, or a palm sheath). The base of the palm frond branch is first prepared for painting, and then painted incorporating its unique shape and size into each palm frond art acrylic painting. This can be a challenge because it is not a flat surface and the curves, groves and indentations must be compensated for otherwise the painting will look distorted or out of proportion. After the "Palm Frond Art" is painted it is then sealed both front and back for long lasting durability.
