Matthieu van Riel - Matterhorn Dark Clouds

Ho dipinto la luce e la ruvidità del Cervino, maestosa montagna svizzera.

Mi piace passeggiare in natura, lungo campi di fiori e tulipani, lungo la costa del Mare del Nord e dell'Oceano Atlantico, nelle polder, lande di erica e foreste nei Paesi Bassi, nelle Alpi, Dolomiti, Pirenei e nelle regioni montuose selvagge della Scandinavia.
Nature is in my mind. That is why many of my paintings are about nature, about landscape.

Painted on artist quality canvas (see image), painted with Winsor&Newton and Talens Expert professional top quality acrlylic paint and other quality acrylic paint . Ready to hang. A frame is not needed. The painting will be carefully packaged in plastic between two sheets of mdf to protect the painting, and shipped in a cardboard box.

Unfortunately, in some images you can see the moiré effect, the wavy lines on the image. The moiré effect is caused by photographing the cotton I paint on, its structure. If you zoom in, the effect is usually gone. Information about the moiré effect can be found on the internet.
