marie antoinette - original painting - large 30 x by venus .

Mon, 29 Jun 2009 11:05:23 MST

Vintage Style Marie Antoinette. Original Painting. Marie Antoinette is such an interesting historical figure. I wanted to make my painting of her have a vintage feel, so I made this painting of her by using several layering and antiquing techniques. The image of Marie Antoinette is an image transfer with hand painting and a distressing technique. I'm really happy with how it turned out. I think she looks absolutely gorgeous in person. It reminds me of an old painting found in an old plantation or French Chateau. And the little blue birdie adds such a lovely touch. Thanks for looking! :) This painting sold in July 2009.

Desire - Original Painting by venus .

To me, desire is an elusive dangling carrot, something momentary you can never take hold of. I've used an apple to represent man and woman (adam and eve), dangling on a string just outside the window, just outside of reach. 16 x 20 oil on canvas

VASES - original painting by venus .

Tue, 23 Jun 2009 15:15:03 MST

This was an exercise with realism and color, my first attempt at realism. I wanted to do this painting because it has so many variations of green. I added Van Gogh's vase in the picture on the wall to contrast my realism with his post impressionism. I'm most happy with the marble vase which I worked on for a long time. Realism Still Life, Oil on Canvas Panel, 11 x 14, Framed, 2009

Birth Of Venus - Original Painting by venus .

Thu, 03 Apr 2008 08:04:07 MST

Since my name is Venus, I figured I should paint at least one Venus. Botticelli's is my favorite, so I painted this one. But....I feel that if I am going to make a copy of a famous masterwork, why not paint it different. We're already seen it produced in replica a million times right? So I threw some symbolism in the mix and painted "The Birth Of Venus" a different way.... being born by way of color, crossing the threshold of a colorless life into a colorful one, like when you have a life altering experience, like experienceing love or death, and suddenly life is more vibrant and colorful....its a new birth in which you appreciate life more. 11" x 14" canvas panel. 2008. I've used charcoal pencil to draw an outline of the features and then painted in with oil. The entire canvas is painted. Frame Included. Comes with artist bio and COA.
