Oil on Canvas 24 x 36 Private Collection
"Imagining"
I purchased the sculpture in this painting when living in Florence, Italy.
The sculptor's name is Sergio Benvenuti,
and the title of the piece is"Imagining".
There is an expression of lightness and freedom that one feels
when spending time with her that inspired me to paint her
in a setting that was reminiscent of her Italian beginnings.
In the genre of historical still life paintings by Chardin (Attributes of Art)
there is a grand setting with velvet drapery, various books and in this case,
I modernized the setting to include colorful fruit
that would have been typical for a Florentine table setting on market day.
The painting is in a private collection, but if you are interested in commissioning a painting in this genre,
please write me and we can explore options for your particular taste.
