Italian Restauran - Sunflowers Of Venice
Preparing for the trip to Italy, I am getting my "Italian" brush strokes sharpen.. In this painting I literally re-painted the walls with the dry brush loaded with color not worrying about the brush marks; after all, the walls in that Venetian cafe were old...
I've got the photo reference from my friend who went to Italy a couple of years ago. They were sitting in the cafe and waiting for the meal to come. The guy was wearing red t-shirt and was looking at the vase above his head. I made a few changes; and, even though I left the pitcher with flowers above and "almost" falling, I replaced the guy with the Red Venetian Chair to add a little less personal look to the painting but remain an Italian feeling to the atmosphere...
Now I don't know what is the focal point in this painting: the red chair, the blue bottle, or these cute Sunflowers:
Oh Italy, I am excited to go there. So far I was just painting from the photo's of my friends and relatives. And now it is the time to meet this country in person.
Here are my previous paintings.
