Artist

Medium
Painting - Oil On Canvas
Description
The Original Oil Painting, “Reservation for Four", Santorini, is sold. All Originals viewed and sold with extra images at BaywoodGallery.com (copy/paste or type)
This restaurant was on the rim or caldera of Santorini Island, Greece. The rim is the remains of a volcanic eruption many centuries ago. The remains of the volcano is offshore on the island in the background. It is still active with just a few puffs of smoke no and then, but it will not erupt as it did before. The views are well known around the world and the water is as they say really "Cobalt Blue." This scene was painted just as I remember with the open umbrellas, pots of geraniums, and billowy white clouds after the summer rains. It is so named because of four chairs with an invitation to sit awhile and wouldn't be wonderful to have this print on a wall, where the viewer could see on a daily basis, rain or shine.
Thank you for finding us on fineartamerica while searching for Art or a product it is printed on. Each premium artist is given a full website, on Pixels inside fineartamerica. It looks the same as the searching pages of fineartamerica but if you use the menu’s on fineartamerica you may not know that you have moved off of our landing page. We are Mary Grden and John Grden, and our website is inside Pixels with our own domain name of BaywoodArtGallery.com it is a complete link if typed or copied and you will see ALL our work printed on more than 25 products including seven different styles of wall-art. Some of Mary’s prints are very large, but can also be printed, very small. Use the menus on BaywoodArtGallery.com and you will stay on our site while searching our Art. Bookmark, or to help remember it, think of this acronym: “BAG.”
Mary’s Original Oil Paintings and John’s Prayers, Sketches and Drawings are shown and sold on our other website with almost the same name, BaywoodGallery.com (without the word, “Art”, in its name). There, you may want to keep two browsers open to toggle back and forth seeing prints on BaywoodArtGallery.com and more images of the same prints on BaywoodGallery.com (type or copy into a browser)
I am a self-taught Artist who began painting forty years ago in a form of Realism. “Oil painting is to me, much like writing is to an author, once the painting is complete many more than one can enjoy. Teaching yourself everything can be a long road, and what a journey to learn with God’s blessing every step of the way. The measure of success is the love or the passion you have for what you do and without it, an Artist can lose their way.” “I mix all my colors, rarely taking them straight from the tube, and create shadows for all elements like the sides of a buildings to oppose the front telling us if the sun is to rise or set. Perspective is enhanced with many color values as well, allowing us to see the realistic view of an open window, door, winding paths, steps, water and so much more. Composition can be difficult to perceive, and I am grateful that it came to me naturally.” I am self-taught in archival printing, website design and maintenance.
