San Francisco Bay Golden Gate Cafe Table For Two Oil Painting 24X36 STRETCHED. This is a most inviting view of the Golden Gate Bridge from a patio connecting the city and county of San Francisco with Marin County. A rather scenic slice of life, it was hand – painted recently and will therefor endure for many generations of artistic appreciation. The artist used the impasto technique, with generous amounts of quality oil paints applied to the canvas with a palette knife, in addition to the usual brush work. It would be appropriate to virtually any decor, home or office. Size: 24 X 36 Inches – Stretched. May Be Hung With Or Without A Frame. How nice of them! Floppy canvases must be stretched taut onto backing frames known as stretcher bars before framing or hanging without a frame. Thus, should your painting arrive in a tube, you are faced with the additional expense of properly stretching and mounting your floppy canvas on stretcher bars. So you can figure out how much you save by paying us a little extra for our already stretched paintings. You also save the hassle of finding someone to stretch your paintings, delivering them and then picking them up days or weeks later. This is a genuine hand painted individual oil painting, not a print on canvas (often given the French name of “giclee” for added perceived value). It began life as a bare piece of canvas. Then, a talented young artist worked his magic by hand with brushes, oil paints on a palette, and a container of linseed oil. The result is a truly individual work of art, ready to frame that you will be proud of and enjoy for many years. NOTE: If hung as – received, edge staples and some partly painted canvas on the edges may be noticeable when viewed from an angle at close distance. You will find three images above. The first is the painting itself, and the second a detailed close up of a small area that hopefully llustrates the brush strokes and the texture of the paint and canvas. The third is a view of the back side of a painting, illustrating the stretcher bar backing frame to which your painting is attached. Listing and template services provided by inkFrog.
