Painting - Oil On Canvas
Description
This was a commissioned piece painted in oils on canvas now in print. The subject was a photo given to me of the city called Bruges Belgium. I enjoy creating my version of an old city with such charm and history. I love painting perspective and of course, buildings, water, boats and all you see here. This is a slightly wider format of the original version which will be listed next to this for a comparison. I format the different sizes and make sure the colors are as I painted them.
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.
