Art at the Villa - Newton Open Studios

All my paintings are now finished painted and the art is on the wall , all in anticipation of our community event, Newton Open Studios.

As promised; the varnish demonstration. One image is the "before" a painting is varnished and the other is an image of "after" the painting is varnished. Can you tell which is which? The darker, more intense and dramatic coloration image has been varnished. Also the image with intense coloration , while more color correct, especially the red, is taken by a professional photographer, however the color is not still not true to the painting. The green is a bit off in the VARNISHED painting image. The technology of digital color reproduction still has not caught up with my painted colors and combinations. Some colors always seems to get sacrificed in a digital image, but it's getting better.

I won't be posting again until after Newton Open Studios..so please come on by and enjoy the event. Start here at 22 Burnham Road, West Newton with a Villa visit.
