Long Ago Venice

Gondolasfull_2

Hello.

Sorry for my absence lately. Very busy designing and painting Junes Melange shop products. In the next few posts to come, thought I'd go ahead and show you a few original hand-painted floor screens. Therefore, here is a charming three-panel floor screen titled "Gondolas". This is a highly detailed imaginary scenic piece painted on both sides using acrylics. Made of solid birch wood. For long lasting protection, several coats of matte varnish applied to both sides. Photo above depicts the front side of screen fully opened and standing flat.

Dimensions:  72" x 54" inches when fully opened.

Available for Purchase Now! Note: until this piece is placed on my upcoming website describing full details . . . you can currently obtain purchasing information such as pricing, dimensions/weight, shipping costs, by emailing me. Please, serious inquiries only. Thank You.

Attributes: Original one of a kind ~ Quality handmade workmanship.

Stay Tune for more Floorscreens!!

Wow June, this is such wonderful artwork. There is so much detail. It's painted with such craftmanship and care.

How long does it take you to paint something like this? Months, a year? How do you even start a project like this?

Perhaps you would consider an upcoming post to share your creative process with your readers. I'd love to see the slow transformation of one of your projects from blank slate to finished piece. That would be a treat.

I'm in awe as always when I pop in and see your latest creation.

Have a great week!

I am so glad I have found your beautiful blog and artwork!

Karen
