Painting is the practice of applying paint, pigment, color or other medium to a surface (support base). In art, the term describes both the act and the result, which is called a painting. Paintings may have for their support such surfaces as walls, paper, canvas, wood, glass, lacquer, clay or concrete. Paintings may be decorated with gold leaf, and some modern paintings incorporate other materials including sand, clay, and scraps of paper.

Painting is a mode of expression, and the forms are numerous. Drawing, composition or abstraction and other aesthetics may serve to manifest the expressive and conceptual intention of the practitioner. Paintings can be naturalistic and representational (as in a still life or landscape painting), photographic, abstract, be loaded with narrative content, symbolism, emotion or be political in nature.

A portion of the history of painting in both Eastern and Western art is dominated by spiritual motifs and ideas; examples of this kind of painting range from artwork depicting mythological figures on pottery to Biblical scenes rendered on the interior walls and ceiling of The Sistine Chapel, to scenes from the life of Buddha or other scenes of eastern religious origin.

A. If you don't recognize the paintings, try to say what art movement they are from and state any influences from another painter they might have.

A. Write up a contract that allows you (as the artist) to have access to your work (for inspections, photography etc.) and to display your work from time to time (e.g. 6 weeks per year). After you've got your "standard" contract prepared, then contact the current owners and ask them for permission (be nice) to access your works and request that they sign your contract to permit you further access. Note: Of course, under the copyright law of most countries in the world, only you (as the artist) have the right to photograph and copy these works. The owners of the art have no right to do so. Your problem, however, is that you did not "reserve" rights of access, so that you could exercise your rights to photograph and otherwise copy your art. [cont.]
