Just like the <a href="https://picturingjordan.com/2016/09/beautiful-hand-painted-woodwork/">other hand-painted wood ceiling</a> I posted about two 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> 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. Three 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>
