SANTORINI DWELLINGS Original View-Prints of my Oil Paintings

Painting - Oil On Canvas
Description
"Santorini Dwellings" is an oil painting painted from a very high perspective. This view is above this lone Windmill situated in, Oia, at one end of Santorini Island. Oia, although a small part of the island, looks grand and large, the way I saw it that day. The detail is how I remember the village. The buildings are very white against the blue waters of the Aegean Sea. The sunsets are what bring in visitors in the late afternoon to view from the cliffs or from a boat. The windmills here, and those on the Island of Mykonos were used for milling flour before most of them became"dwellings", like the one I painted here. The caldera was formed after the eruption of the volcano centuries ago. Contact me if you need larger sizes.
If you think you are seeing double its because I have two different sized prints next to each other's listing. One is the original "taller" view and the other is the slightly "wider" view.
God gave me my talent and I don’t say that lightly. I only use the term “self-taught” because
I had no formal training. I knew early on, 45 years ago that simply asking with love for our creator, I learned what I did not know. Books were examples, but painting is from within. I love creating shadows for all elements; the sides of a building to oppose the front; steps, cracks, and crevices, telling us if the sun is to rise or set. Being a “Realist,” allows us to study what we see and paint it with a realistic view with, “perspective,” like an open window, door, winding paths, steps, water and so much more. Composition can be difficult to perceive, but to many it comes naturally, as it did for me." To Bookmark or Pin my domains leading here inside Faa. Website

Fine Art tip: If you are purchasing a paper print I recommend Watercolor Paper, as It is smooth and proven to give you the best viewing of my art. It should be hung out of direct sunlight and framed under glass or plexiglass which is the same for fine art and digital works. I make smaller flat canvas and watercolor paper prints at my “Originals” site (late October 2024)
