Reflection of reality is as important as reality itself... Not my thought hehe, just something impressionists discovered which can apply to my work.
Acrylics on canvas panel. 30*40 cm.
In the zoomed up version a view of my summer working desk ;)
wow I like how you placed the art on the table I thought for a minute the background was the painting... the painting you have done is very very beautiful and the realistic ways of how reflections should look like.. great work
Hi Cristina , beautifully done ! I love the reflections and perspective ! Oh , and congratulations to have such a great place for painting ! Wishing you a lot of wonderful ideas there in the future !
this is awesome. thank you for showing us where it was created. Is that Seattle?
Artist Reply: Thanks Lauren :) Hehe, no, it isn't Seattle, it is Trieste, Italy ;) A bit smaller than Seattle, but with the same feeling of sea-town... much warmer though. I think Mark Twain once said that the coldest winter in his life was a summer in Seattle ;)
I love the movement in the water, and the reflections Cristina, it's another beauty.
I adore your studio as well, surely thare can be no better place to paint, just so long as you anchor everything down well LOL! :D
Artist Reply: You could not be more right, Steph... when wind blows it is like living in a boat, you have to tie everything :)
