Artwork Update - The Museum Keeper

9:41 PM, 17-Jul-2008

Artwork: The Museum Keeper  by artist monyg
oil painting on canvas (50x50cms)

 

This painting, which took part to a painting contest this month , was inspired by a visit to the Vela Museum in Ligornetto , where there was a very big cat dozing away ... it's a 50x50cms canvas (oil painting). I am rather satisfied with the chair , which velvety suface was rather difficult to pull out in oil painting ...and the statue in the background was rather difficult too!


Artwork Update - San Fruttuoso...A Vision ?

11:04 AM, 17-Jun-2008

Artwork: San Fruttuoso...A Vision ? by artist monyg
oil painting on mdf panel (52x72 cms )

 

this is my latest oil painting ! It took part to my art group exibition which was held last weekend ... I'll put in some photos as soon as I can !

The idea came from a walk to San Fruttuoso di Camogli a famous site on the Riviera near Portofino which can be reached only by boat or on foot along a path ... and from a photo taken coming down the path ! the idea is to give a sort of "visionary" effect to it , removing all the crowding of boats and people always going to and fro from there ... I only left a sort of ghostly shadow of the boats parked under the arches ... in this way it looks more unreal!

The colours are put in so cool on purpose , to emphasize the visionary effect .
