Influences:
This painting is influenced by Giavanni Bellini's St Francis in the Dessert at the Frick Museum NY. Although this isn't a literal interpretation of the subject matter of Bellini's masterpiece, the influence comes from the smallness of the figure within the landscape, the strong warm light against the coolness of the landscape, and in the way the space moves back diagonally.

Frequently Asked Questions
Custom and personalized orders
Giclee Prints are listed at 12"X12" but other sizes are available including 16"X16" and 24"X24"
How long does it take if I commission an original oil painting?
Original Oil Paintings can take 3-4 months to complete due the technical nature of laying the thin layers of paint, and the spatial complexities. You'll get weekly progress updates of your painting while it's being developed.
Where can I buy frames for the unframed Giclee Prints?
I'm working on a short video with suggestions for Frames. I just purchased 18" square frames from West Elm that worked out nicely. I'm ordering some custom mats to use with the frames.
One thing to keep in mind when choosing frames is that the print image is 12"X12" but the paper is larger, usually around 13" Square.
Frame sizes are generally the outside dimensions of the frame, not the inside dimensions that hold the paper.
Generally, for a classic 2" border (matted or floating), you want a frame that is at least 17" Square.
In the decor shot in the About section, the nickel frame with the gray backing is 17.5" square, and the black gallery frame is 18" square.
