Canal Corner
15 x 24cm
30 x 40cm framed
Oil on board
Painted in February 2024 on an en plein air painting trip to Venice.
This piece is framed in a hand finished red frame with a gilt edge and gilt corner motif. Using traditional gesso, gilding, and ageing techniques, I have hand-finished the frames in the style of the 17th century Italian cassetta.
The frames made for this collection are especially designed as an extension of the painting - and a nod towards Italian history and culture.
