The Story Behind the Painting: Gail Sauter



Stroll, Oil on Panel, 36 x 36 inches

Our June Show show, The Young Collector, featured artist Gail Sauter who always has fascinating stories from her travels that inspire her paintings.

While speaking with her about her new paintings for the show, she told this story about the painting "Stroll": " This was in Venice, at the end of  busy tourist street. The woman was walking past Venitian homes, away from the the tourist, surrounded by buildings built in the 1500's. She is living her life the way people did 100's of years ago; I just saw such tranquility in this scene, this moment, this lifestyle. "
