Montmarte Fine Art Print

My Montmarte France Fine Art Print is inspired by my visits to Paris year after year.  This painting interpertation  depicts a time of bygone years when Montemarte was the place to see and be seen by artist of favor during the turn of the century.  It is part of the Architectural Whimsy Collection.    These paintings and prints are a colorful, vibrant and playful series.

I was visiting the quaint village of St. Paul de Vence in the south of France after teaching a workshop, and as I was walking down the stone staircase, I looked out over the village and noticed that they were leaning or tilting with age.  I was inspired to paint them as they were and sold the works immediately.  The rest is history.  This collection is now much more about my feelings of magic visiting these charming places in the quiet corners of Italy and France rather than what I actually saw.  They sway and sing, talk and dance in their whimsical contortions.

As I developed this series it came to my attention that everyone has that special attachment to their memories, from their travels,  of these magical places. I love my favorite pieces hanging in my kitchen and living room.  Every time I pass them, it reminds me of that special moment from travels to a magical place. “Old Town Nice”, This painting was done before the Architectural Whimsy become more prevalent. It is filled with color and teaming with a harbor, fisherman, and endless shopping, sunbathing and lovely eateries. I return to Nice every year as my beginning point for my travels. It is filled with Colorful Magic.

Find the perfect piece for your living room and be reminded daily of the wonderful time you spent in one of these charming towns.

Kathleen Carrillo is now offering some of her most important images as hand embellished, limited edition, signed and numbered Giclee prints on canvas. Each painting that is chosen for a limited edition print is scanned and then digitally produced, archived and available to utilize for your order. The high-quality canvas provides a consistent surface that allows for an incredibly intense range of colors and depth. Once Kathleen receives your ordered print from her manufacturer, she personally hand paints the print with her fine art acrylics, enhances it with gel medium for texture and then finishes it with a final coat of acrylic finish varnish. It is then signed and numbered and comes with a Certificate of Authenticity.

“Montmarte Reflections” “Montemarte takes me back to the turn of the century, where painters laughed, shared ideas, drank and danced at the top of the world in Paris. The village dances and sways to the energetics of times gone by. The night explodes with colorful magic.
