Have a great weekend!
Lavinia, oil on canvas, 3′x4′. For sale at Davis Canadian Arts, Stratford, Ontario Telephone: 519-275-3373. $4500.00 CDN.
I don’t think I’ve ever shown my large work on this blog before, so I figured maybe I should. This is Lavinia (named after my great great great great Aunt). I know nothing about her, but I love the name. She’s a large oil painting and she has been painted on premium canvas with a double thickness stretcher (often referred to as a gallery stretcher) and wired on back. She doesn’t need to be framed (although, some people prefer to do that), but I find there is something quite charming about unframed oil paintings.
She’s not listed on etsy because of well, the price is higher, although it’s in Canadian Dollars, so there’s an added bonus to Americans, and it’s also a substantially larger sized work than what I post on etsy. I also don’t like shipping something that big because of insurance and packing etc, so I leave that up to the capable owners at the Davis Gallery. They are happy to ship anywhere.
I’ve included several close-ups so you can see the mind-numbing detail work that went into it. I literally went insane while painting this. I gave myself some sort of inner ear balance problem (ringing and all) from concentrating so hard.
How I suffer for my art!
By the way, if you click on the photos you can see even more detail.
