The Venetians-- Landscapes

These paintings are part of the SAVANNAH series-- from 2006. This installation is important-- because it contains all of them!

Each panel measures 7" H x 48 "W.... and conveys snippets of Low Country landscape as "seen" through venetian blinds.

It was forntunate to keep them together as a collection -- as they are more powerful with their sublte transitions.

How wonderful it is to see them being appreciated and featured!
