Upcoming Watercolour Works: Sicilian landscape (and the lemons), Burano, Venice Grand Canal, Atlantic Puffin

 


Buongiorno! I haven't shared updates on my latest watercolour works for a while, so here they are!

The first artwork from the left is my first Sicilian landscape watercolour. As you can see, there are so many lemons and leaves to paint!

The second piece features colourful Burano, an island in the Venetian Lagoon. 

The third artwork depicts Venice's Grand Canal at twilight, with two gondolas and gondoliers in the foreground and the magnificent Basilica di Santa Maria della Salute illuminated in the background.

The fourth artwork is not an Italian or Venetian landscape! It is an Atlantic Puffin! Perhaps this little puffin dreams of travelling to Sicily and Venice. I hope God makes her dream come true! Her watercolour painting is slowly taking shape, and I will be adding the background featuring her natural habitat as well.

And I mustn't forget to let my blog readers know that, soon, you will be able to place orders directly with me for my Fine Art Prints, Original Artworks, and other products, including Audrey Midi Dresses (for ladies, or gentlemen who would like to purchase a lovely dress for their wives or girlfriends), other dresses, Midi Skirts, Nappa Leather Bags, and more.

Simply email your order to denisewongcm@gmail.com, and I will arrange a private listing for you in my Etsy shop, where you can make your payment securely.

Currently, my dresses are lovingly made and sewn by Le Galeriste in Montreal, Canada, and shipped directly to customers in Canada and the United States.

My upcoming midi skirts and Fine Art Prints will soon be available to order directly through this blog. Both the midi skirts and Fine Art Prints will be professionally produced by Contrado in London, UK, and shipped to customers in the UK, US, Canada, Australia, and various European countries, including Italy, Germany, France, Sweden, Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, Switzerland, Austria, Liechtenstein, and Spain.

May my art bring a little sunshine, inspiration, and beauty to your life.

Wearing Italy: Meet My Audrey Midi Dresses

Wearing Italy: Meet My Audrey Midi Dresses

It took me nearly two months to find my new dress production partner! Le Galeriste in Montréal, Canada, is a wonderful maker of wearable art and dresses, and I’m delighted to be working with them.

For years I’ve painted the Italian landscapes I love, from the glittering waters of Lake Como to the rolling hills of Tuscany and the winding canals of Venice. I always dreamed of seeing those paintings move through the world, and not only hang on a wall. When I found the Audrey midi dress, it felt like a dream come true.

Why the Audrey?

The Audrey is a fit-and-flare midi with a V-neckline, cap sleeves, a fitted bodice and a full, flowing skirt. It also has pockets, which I think every dress should have! 😄

My watercolours are printed across the skirt and bodice, so the dress works like a canvas. When you wear it, the painting moves with you.

Made with care

  • Made to order: each dress is made for you when you order.
  • Available size: XS to XL
  • Sewn by women, for women: every dress is sewn by skilled women, with care.
  • Ponte de Roma fabric: it holds its shape beautifully without feeling stiff, so it’s comfortable to wear all day.

My Venice canal paintings are next, and the dresses are on their way! Stay tuned. I can’t wait to show you. 

Where to find them

The Lake Como and Tuscany Audrey midi dresses are available now in my Etsy shop, DeniseWongArts: denisewongarts.etsy.com
