Lena Rivo's Painting Blog

I finally got some archival quality giclée 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/

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/
