FRAMING OPTIONS: This painting can be purchased with or without a frame. With the assistance of an art curator and framing specialist, an optimal solution has been selected for this piece. It includes a neutral, textured mount and textured wood frame with a matte white finish, which can be substituted for black (please email your request to art@schafernakerart.com quoting the canvas code and order number). Two screen options are available: regular acrylic and the new 'Moth-Eye Museum' acrylic, delivering exceptional clarity and UV protection. It is as clear as glass but ten times stronger—a total game-changer in the world of framing. Framing options can be selected at checkout and will include additional shipping costs for protective packaging and insurance.
IMPORTANT: Due to the delicate nature of the watercolour surface, we highly recommend framing your valuable art to ensure optimal preservation. Watercolour paper also has a natural tendency to curl, but once mounted and framed, the piece will appear flat. We suggest entrusting any handling outside of the protective sleeve to a professional framer.
DELIVERY: Four weeks from date of order.
ABOUT THIS PAINTING
My first watercolour study of the rolling Mykonos landscape with its rugged coastline featuring Ftelia Beach in the north.
The painting is based on photography and sketches from my first-ever visit to the island during an unusually stormy spell in early September 2023. Altocumulus Castellanus clouds dominate the sky indicating 'mid-level instability' and impending rain clouds brought by Storm Daniel - a devastating 'medicane' in the eastern Mediterranean at the time. Notice the choppy sea inlet glistening in the sunlight. Mykonos is infamous for its ferocious winds caused by seasonal pressure differences across the region.
