I can convert any of my photos to a digital 'painting'. Understand that no paints are used in this artistic reproduction...it is all done by me digitally, using a digital 'paint' brush, etc.
Go ahead and order this print if you want (it will not have the writing on the print). Otherwise, use the Contact page to tell my which photo you would like to have reproduced as a ditgiital painting. I will send you a proof at no cost, and the digital painting version will be the same price as a non-painting version.
Looks best as a canvas gallery wrap!

Besides the body of the father of John the Baptist, the church of San Zaccaria houses numerous exquisite masterpieces. A plethora of art work can be found here, including works by Bellini, Tintoretto and many more.
Though this church is one of the few that allows photography, it is only open about two hours each afternoon.
