Description

Many years have passed since this painting became my first Oil Painting of Santorini, Greece and where I began teaching myself perspective. It embodies what I saw when I first knew of Santorini having visited there. It's a favorite of mine for its simplicity and its message of how our lives could be simplified. My messages are few for my art, as I want the viewer to experience their own "feel" for a painting. You can see all of my Santorini Paintings in print, and maybe you feel what others have told me, "they see and feel happiness.

I am a “realist” painter, not a photo-realistic painter. I regard myself as a self-imposed “Representational Realist.” “I only represent, reality, God makes everything, perfectly real.” “Painting for me is much like writing is to an author, once the Paint is put to the Canvas many more than one, can enjoy viewing the Original and finding a Print.”

If you are choosing paper, for wall art and it is to be framed under glass I recommend what I print on, Watercolor Paper. I also print on Canvas, with the same, clear, results. The other surfaces, like Metal and Acrylic make great choices for areas with high moisture like kitchens and baths too. Hanging any Art in direct sunlight is not recommended.

We issue signed Certificates of Authenticity, on all wall-art, here, so you will have evidence you bought a print authorized by the Artist. Contact us here on “BAG” after your purchase arrives.
