Art - Juliet - Final as of November 2 - 2019

58 x 72 inches – Oils and Oil based enamels – October 2019

Painted for the Sorensens Gallery “Nudes in November” show for November 2019.

It was entered and displayed at the Thursday November 7, 2019 Fresno “Art Hop” open house.

This shot above was from a phone camera and not on a tripod for exact angles. So that one can see the edges of the canvas, I didn’t want to crop off part of the painting, like the top of her head.

Art - by Desmond - Islands - May 22 - 2019 cropped

58 x 91 inches – Oil and Acrylics on canvas – November 2018.

AVAILABLE NOW  ………… This painting will open up any room now matter how large or how small the room is. At 91 inches wide, it does need at least 91 inches of wall. Contact me if interested: email to: bobbitimdesmond@att.net

 

Update: May 8, 2019.

Painted for a previous a client, on my personal whim, who liked it but had several reservations, the crux of which turns out to be the size. “It is too large.” So, that is quite all right and while one cannot argue unknown points, I am reminded of the movie Amadeus and at the end of a symphony, the king told Mozart it was too long and to just … “cut out a few notes.” More later on this painting.
