Dear Art-loving friend,
I am out the door for
another guest this weekend, but I wanted to share two new paintings with
you. And also invite you to read my
latest Art Newsletter, this one about the Baptistery in Pisa. Nicola Pisano’s pulpit changed the art world
and I show you why.
The other work is an oil painting on a primed wooden panel (gesso vero) that measures 40 x 60 cm (15.7 x 23.6 inches). "Queen of the Shelf" depicts another collection of old books with other goodies in the composition, including a patina-ed lop-sided plaster sculpture of a woman's head with crown.
Thank you.
