New Fine Art Prints!!!

Image
I finally got some archival quality giclĂ©e prints of my gouache originals printed on genuine acid free fine art paper ( 310 gsm ) with pigment based fade resistant inks. These are the first prints I have ever made and I am absolutely amazed by how strikingly similar to the originals they look!  The prints are now available in different sizes at my online store: https://lenarivo.com/ Available at  https://lenarivo.com/

Fist cherries (of last summer :)

I have just found this gouache painting in a sketchbook from last summer. Our neighbor had brought these cherries for us and I painted them in the backyard under the white Portuguese sun 🍒 ☀️  Visit me here: https://lenarivo.com/

The fresh air of Setubal

Image
Hi everyone! After a very long almost forced break from painting I am happy to be finally back to work. It is still summer in Portugal and last weekend I went to paint to my favorite painting location - the fishing port of Setubal. As if it wasn't beautiful enough by itself there were also old ships there, the masts of which made the scene even more exiting! Oil on linen, 25x30cm / 10x12in.
