Quiet River - Guildford

A commission request for a very large, scenic landscape painting posed a new challenge as it was the biggest ever attempted. The scene, a familiar place, was chosen, having been painted several times before...... immediately eliminating the need to re-design a new composition. To the existing features, I added some points of interest such as the boat and bridge in the background - which helped to fill the enormous space. Oil on canvas 33" x 57" (83 x 144 cm)

  4. To Graziella, Carla, Graziano and Frank ..... thankyou very much for your kind comments.
    This was the only painting that I couldn't fit into my hatchback car .... after framing. The frame on this was another 6" deep around. :)
