The Gate Keeper

The Gate Keeper

Please email me for price.

This is an original watercolor from my own reference photo of a Venetian mascarone ( a carved, stone head on the keystone of an archway). This old, stately guy has been watching the entrance of this palazzo for about five hundred yearif you have any questions. s! I took the reference photo from underneath and at an angle from the mascarone, creating an unusual perspective. It is part of my Memories of Venice series. I really enjoyed every moment of working on this painting. I have to admit that it is one of my favorite paintings and I feel very happy about the results.

This painting is on Canson artboard with 140 lb Arches CP paper. It is 16" X 20" and painted with professional quality W&N paints. It is offered on line unframed and unmatted. It would look very nice with a 20" X24" matting and a simple metal frame with glass.
