Scully Posted November 11 Report Share Posted November 11 This painting is currently hanging in Palazzo Bembo in Venice, just alongside the Grand Canal and about 100 yards from Rialto Bridge. The above title was the brief we were given to work from as part of the Personal Structures part of the Biennale 2024. The exhibition was curated by a friend of mine, who travelled over there with our work. These are the boots he wore when he worked in Venice, as obviously a foreigner, while constructing his work for the previous exhibition. I hung the boots from my easel and painted them actual size from life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

islandgun Posted November 11 Report Share Posted November 11 (edited) Scully you work is off the dial, never fails to amaze me, I wish I had bought one of your paintings before you started world tours and i could have afforded it.. If it works heres a sample from another bloke from Holland i think.. didnt work but google Van Gogh boots..

7daysinaweek Posted November 13 Report Share Posted November 13 Amazing talent you have Scully. The miniscule detail is most certainly not to be under perceived. Superb! I stood on the Rialto bridge earlier in the year. Venice seems a fitting place for it to be situated. 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moondoggy Posted November 14 Report Share Posted November 14 Wow. I thought it was a photograph of your subject, I scrolled down looking for the painting. Simply amazing. How many hours did that take to paint? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scully Posted November 15 Author Report Share Posted November 15 14 hours ago, ditchman said: do you do signed prints of your work ? I have a limited few Ditchy, currently. Prints are a strange thing really. I once had four images of gypsy horses printed as lithographs ( the only way to print back then ) thinking I’d display them in the local pubs around Fair week; everybody telling me I’d make a killing! 500 of them which cost me a small fortune back in the 80’s. Didn’t sell a single one! Burned most of them eventually. I painted a particular tree in Autumn foliage which sold in a gallery within days, and the gallery owner asked me if I’d do another. I did, and it sold within days. I can’t recall how many ‘original’ versions I painted for that gallery, each selling very quickly, so decided to do a run of Ltd edition prints. Didn’t sell one! They all went over the years, but it took a long time to get my money back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

London Best Posted November 15 Report Share Posted November 15 I expect, as many artists before you, you will live and die in comparative poverty and your paintings will become very valuable after you are gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
