Ancient City (2026) Original Oil Painting by Tim Smith

30 x 40 x 2cm (unframed) / 30 x 40cm (actual image size)

£250

This painting took a long time to do, and it shows in the surface, which is built in layers, memory of view over memory of view, a set of towers in the distance, the medieval town of San Gimignano in Tuscany. In the haze in the morning it's strangely reminiscent of Manhattan in a way. A moment that we never had together. This painting comes ready to hang, unframed with clean crisp edges to the canvas, and looks great at different times of the day in the changing light.

Materials used:

Oil paint, applied in layers, scrubbed off, printed back on and worked over
