Here is the painting I had shared:
 |
| "Neptune"- from Neptune's Fountain in Florence, Italy |
About a year and a half ago, I painted the lower part of that fountain, my " Neptune's Sea Horses" and wanted to paint the top of that fountain, Neptune's head.I fell in love with the details of this white marble face. I decided to add warm colors on the left hand side of the painting and cool colors on the right hand side. The photo was taken inside with a flash ( still too cold in Ottawa to take photos outside,I feel), so the colors are not entirely accurate.
It represents the
head of a huge marble statue by Bartolomeo Ammannati (1563–1565) which
was commissioned on the occasion of the wedding of Francesco I de'
Medici with Johanna of Austria in 1565. The Neptune figure, whose face
resembles that of Cosimo I de' Medici, was meant to be an allusion to
the dominion of the Florentines over the sea. It stands in the middle of
a beautiful fountain.(Wikipedia)
I hope you will like this painting!

Great job on the face! By all means get this piece framed! The colors sing and your handling of the edges is spot on! Difficult to imagine your cold temps from here in South Florida...
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your support and encouragement, Rosemary.
ReplyDeleteI will get it framed, then:-)
I think that half of Canadians dream of moving to Florida during the winter. Today, it is reasonably mild, but with the windchill it officially feels like -6 F... which is still pretty good since one night last week with wind chill if went down to -38 F...that was really cold;-)
J'aime votre travaille !
ReplyDeleteUn vrai plaisir pour les yeux !
