Il Gatto Del Canale
BUY PRINTS HERE
“Il Gatto Del Canale” is the fifth painting in a series “Serie di Venezia” featuring interesting scenes I have witnessed in my travels to Venice Italy. This is a slight departure from the others in the Series because it depicts a specific Scene I witnessed wandering the canals of Venice. This cat, was simply sunning itself in a really interesting window, it literally called out to be painted, so I did.
This is painted on a pre-stretched canvas and framed by a custom frame I made. This painting is complete and ready to hang.
Painting Details:
(All materials used are a mix from mid-late 90’s and contemporary replacements)
-Pre-Stretched Canvas, 18x24” and personally prepared with Gesso and an additional original painting “under coat”
-Brushes; Grumbacher Bristle, Flat #2, #3, #4, Round #1, Winsor & Newton -Bristle Filbert #2, Princeton Bristle Flat #2, #3
-Paint; Winsor & Newton Artist Colour, Winsor & Newton Winton, Grumbacher PreTested (back when it was good) and Gamblin Artist Oil. 16 different base colors mixed to hue and varying thickness. Liquin and Colbalt dryer agents used to thin paint and speed-up drying time
- Final painting was sealed using 2 coats of Gamvar High Gloss after three (3) month “drying” time
Custom Frame Details:
Shadow Box style frame made of Red Oak by the Artist exclusively for this painting in 2020.
- Frame dimensions are 20”w x 26”h x 2 1/8”d
- Shadow width ¼” from canvas to frame and the frame edge width is 3/4” wide
- Frame is Stained and Varnished with 2 coats of Dark Ebony Satin finish
- 100lb. rated picture cable (overkill I know…) through stainless steel eye-hooks is used to hang the entire piece. (6lbs. total weight for canvas and frame)
As always, I welcome the opportunity to discuss making a similar Original Commissioned Piece (it will NOT be a copy, but shall have the same feel as the original).
