This fun bright piece was painted en plein air (on location) in Havana, Cuba. Here's the story, how I ended up painting in Cuba.
In February 2016, a group of 100 artists took a historic Plein Air Painting Trip to Cuba, organized by the Plein Air Magazine. For the whole week, we painted at different locations: in historic Cojimar, an old fishing village on the ocean, and on the streets of Old Havana, a beautiful city with mixed architecture of Neo-Classical and Spanish influenced design, with thousands of colorful buildings in deep disrepair, making for wonderful patina and great paintings. I painted this in the heart of Old Havana, on Plaza Vieja, where the bright colorful "Helados" carts are very common, and they bring a fun contemporary element to the street scene.
Materials:
oil paint on oil primed linen canvas on 1/16" MDF artist panel, finished with melamine backing that prevents warping and deterioration. Painting surface is protected with a coat of Gamvar varnish. Painting is unframed and requires a frame to hang. It will easily fit into a standard (US) 9"x12" frame.
Kindly note that not all in-context (in a room) pictures provide a true sense of scale of artwork. Please refer to listing size: 9"x12"x0.1"
Shipping:
Shipping estimates include the cost of packaging materials and courier fees.
International Shipping.
