Just like the <a href="https://picturingjordan.com/2016/09/beautiful-hand-painted-woodwork/">other hand-painted wood ceiling</a> I posted about a few weeks ago, the work was done by an old Syrian man. This one is actually in my flat, and I may or may not have taken this picture while laying on my back on the living room floor.</p> <p></p> <p><em>Technical: Nikon D3100, post processed from RAW with <a href="https://www.darktable.org/">darktable</a>.</em></p> https://picturingjordan.com/2016/09/beautiful-hand-painted-woodwork/ Sat, 17 Sep 2016 15:48:23 +0300 https://picturingjordan.com/2016/09/beautiful-hand-painted-woodwork/ <figure > <img src="https://picturingjordan.com/2016/09/IMG_20160916_174409.jpg" alt="Beautiful hand-painted wood panels on the ceiling" /> <figcaption> <h4>Beautiful hand-painted wood panels on the ceiling</h4> </figcaption> </figure> <p>There&rsquo;s an old Syrian man who does this fantastic hand painting on wood panels in Amman. A few flats in our building have them installed on the ceiling, but this one takes the cake. I&rsquo;m not sure if it&rsquo;s typical for the region or not — the man was referencing pictures from a Russian art book — but they are exquisite.</p> <p></p>
