A Gentle Rain (Rovinj, Croatia), Oil Painting

2024

About the Item

Artist Comments
Step onto the marbled streets of Rovinj, Croatia, and hear the soothing sound of the rain. The painting captures a tranquil spring afternoon, with shoppers leisurely strolling down the narrow streets. Artist Faye Vander Veer skillfully creates depth and calm through the placement of figures and intricate foreground details. Her use of closely related values enhances the composition’s dynamic design.


About the Artist
Artist Faye Vander Veer seeks out moments with engaging narratives and captures them with an impressionist style. Her dramatic use of color, texture, light and shadow lend a glowing quality, creating an energy all their own. While using her own photographs as a general reference, it is her sensory memory of the event and her emotional reaction that is conveyed on the canvas, causing the viewer to be transported to another time and place. “Painting becomes a language I use to express my emotional response to what is before me and share my experience of the subject with others,“ says Faye.
