Grand Venice painted as a small vignette
5 12 2007Though the subject matter is vast and expansive, this painting is tiny. I enjoy the looseness of it. With a painting this size you can’t help but be loose! The little gondolier and other people were a challenge, so I resorted to a size 0 brush in some places:
“Grand Venice”
Oil on Canvas, 4×5″
The image is about true to size. Painted on a mini gallery wrapped canvas with edges painted a near black (the gondola color). This is offered on its own or with an accompanying mini easel. Additional pictures and info will be added to the website later, but you saw it here first. Please contact me for all the details. Available to ship this weekend, after my openings Thursday and Friday. Update: just sold! To see the other small works I still have available for sale, please click here and here.

Hi Jennifer,
It is a delightful grand Venice. Were you standing up on the Rialto bridge? It is an unusual and very charming view. I love it. (or just took a photo?)
Congratulation to You and you Husband on the first anniversary of your opening. I wish you many more years of ever increasing success.
I moved to Atlanta and miss the Richmond art community. Those lovely autumn trees you painted and the yellow house in your neighborough i are think very good. I felt transported to Richmond when looking at them and for that i thank you.
Have a great and most succesfull opening tomorrow, sincerly,
Mariano
Mariano,
You are correct, the view is one the famous ones of the Grand Canal from the Rialto bridge. It was painted back in my studio from one of the many photos I took when we last visited. I’d love to have painted that scene on site, but when we were there we were swept along quite handily by the swarming tourists.
Thanks so much! I am glad you like “Grand Venice”. Someone else did too–it was among several that sold last night at the anniversary party.
I am glad to have transported you momentarily back to our old city. I intend to paint more local scenes, perhaps of downtown, since that is where my studio is located. I was in Atlanta for a summer about 14 years ago and really enjoyed the High museum, Little Five Points, and Virginia Highlands. But yes, Richmond has more of its older character preserved– we are lucky about that. Take care and come back by the gallery some time if you are ever this way.
