Siesta Painting

Dispatch and recommendations for handling the painting: This work is large format. Therefore, for ease of transportation and reliability, I will send it without a stretcher in a tube. A big request - if you also roll the picture by yourself - do it with oil on the outside. When a painting is rolled in with oil, microcracks form on it, and eventually cracks. What inspired me to create the picture: This work was a kind of talisman for me. For about three years I dreamed of making a art-trip to Italy to Rome and everything did not work out for me. And I decided that this huge Italian canvas is simply bound to bring me luck in this matter! It depicts the bright and colorful island of Burano. This, perhaps, is generally an isolated case in my entire creative career, when I painted a landscape simply from photography and my own idea. I don't usually do this with paintings. For color, after all, vivid perception and vivid impressions are very important. But I dreamed about this beautiful country for so long, painted it in my imagination, that apparently it was these many fantasies of mine that filled this canvas with emotions, thereby replacing precious living impressions. This is one of my favorite large canvases, I like its undisguised cheerfulness and Colour. By the way, this canvas did bring me luck! And that summer I finally went to Rome, painted a whole series of works there and lived for a month in this magical city.
