"While The City Sleeps - Venice" by Mark Harrison

 

This is a follow-on picture from the last and have used much the same colours but made it more like it is lit by the light of a full moon. It's Venice of course, an old favourite that I have painted many nocturnes of over the years. I'm getting happier with the look of what I'm painting now, I want them to look like a painting not a photograph and have been trying to follow the mantras stuck to my easel as I have gone along (see previous posts about the mantras!). I painted in all the colour and finished it in one day, yesterday, as I didn't want to overwork it. The title actually refers to a short movie I shot in Venice a few years ago, a bit Don't Look Now using the dimly lit alleys and bridges as the settings. Venice at night actually looks like a stage set anyway and highly recommend a walk around Venice at night particularly away from the San Marco areas.

 

 

 

............. BY THE INTERNATIONALLY ACCLAIMED AWARD WINNING ARTIST MARK HARRISON!!!!

 

 

 

Stunning Atmospheric Oil paintings by Award winning Artist Mark Harrison of British landscape, Venice, London, New York, S.E Asia, Bali and beyond. Mark Harrison was an extremely successful professional illustrator painting nearly 500 book jackets for most major UK & USA Publishers and winning a number of Awards!! Mark is well known in science fiction and fantasy genres!! Feeling constricted by the demands of  illustration in 2003 Mark devotes all his time to painting  for sale in fine Art Galleries!!!!

 

 

Mark Harrison now paints mainly in oil on board. Many paintings focus on atmospheric landscapes and cityscapes, mainly London, New York and Venice, but he has also developed a more idiosyncratic style and content, reflecting an interest in more elusively symbolic and surreal subject matter. Most recently Harrison has developed an interest in plein air painting: landscapes started in acrylic on location and finished in oil in the studio.

 

 

Mark Harrison exhibits regularly at the London Affordable Art Fair, Art in Action and at various UK galleries. His paintings have been accepted for the Pastel Society Open Exhibition (2005 & 2006), the Royal Society of British Artists (2008) and the Royal Institute of Oil Painters (2008 & 2010).

 

 

His work is often featured in magazines, including Artists & Illustrators (2009) and International Artist (2006 & 2011). He was a finalist in the International Artist Landscape Challenge (Feb/Mar 2011) with his plein air painting, ‘Flax field from Cissbury Ring’.
