Memories of Rome, Oil Painting

2025

Artist Comments
An enchanting scene invites the viewer to walk along the Tiber River in Rome and marvel at the beautiful Ponte Vittorio Emanuele II. The impressionist style captures a peaceful, almost idyllic Sunday afternoon. The flow of the water guides the eye beneath the bridge to the hillside around the bend, where the dome of the Basilica di San Giovanni rises in the distance.

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.
