During a visit to my 'home away from home'..my studio/atelier at La Rochelle,France on the scenic Atlantic Coast (Bay of Biscay)..I had the opportunity to travel northeast to the Loire Valley..one of the most popular tourist destinations in France. The reason is that the French kings built magnificent 'chateaux' (castles) and mansions in the region for their 'retreats' or hunting holidays. In addition to dozens of scenic villages and farms..the Chinon wine is highly regarded.
- This painting, shows a young lady on her horse (cheval) near a mansion on the grounds of the castle of Chenonceau. The morning was quite foggy yet I felt it was a great opportunity to create this subtle 'mixed media' rendition using Koh-i-Noor Rapidograph technical pens,India Ink,watercolors,gouache (opaque watercolors) and acrylics. The painting measures 12" Wide X 9" deep 30.5 X 22.9cm) on acid free 100 wt. Strathmore Bristol paper. I signed and dated the painting lower right area and I will ship it to you along with the COA-Certificate of Authenticity in a clear,plastic photo-type high quality box frame.Photo 4 shows the painting in a computer generated 'virtual frame'..not a real frame nor the frame the art is shipped in..yet it gives you an idea how a custom gold frame can enhance the painting to best correspond with your home or office decor. Shipped quick by USPS Priority Mail (2 to 3 business days from date of actual shipment from Ft. Lauderdale,Florida $8 to residents of USA -$18 Worldwide). I am Jeff Sterling and my painting is 100% ORIGINAL. It is NOT a giclee,copy,enhancement,lithograph or print. You are dealing direct with me, the artist and no 'middlemen' or galleries are involved.
