“Details of Venice” 12″x16″ Oil on Canvas
I hesitated to post Miro’s work because it is very different from my particular artistic bent. Then I realized I could not stop looking at his wonderful paintings. The more I looked at them the more apparent it became that his compelling style had captured my imagination. The colors are great, the compositions are compelling and ….. well you can see, via the links below, it’s very difficult to stop looking at his work.
What I like about “Details of Venice”
- Prejudice - I love Venice! It may be the most paint worthy place on earth and this little painting really sums up that feeling you have as your heading down the canals enjoying one little picturesque window after another.
- Style - I don’t talk about this much when speaking about paintings because I believe it is something an artist just simply has. It is a reflection of how the individual sees the world and the way he naturally applies paint. Miro’s means of applying the paint makes viewing one of his paintings a journey. First you see the whole of the subject and it’s impact on you and then you get to take a wonderful trip through all the patches of color and paint.
- The Basics - This painting is a great example of how you can put paint on a canvas in any manner you choose and as long as you have good drawing, good color, good values and good composition you will end up with an exceptional work of art. Miro’s means of applying paint moves his work well beyond just these basics to a very enjoyable experience for the viewer.
Look and Enjoy!
