'Venetian Jewel' featured in The Arts Business Institute Holiday Gift Guide

Today, I received a lovely note from Carolyn Edlund, Executive Director of The Arts Business Institute. 'Venetian Jewel' was selected for their 3rd Annual Great Handmade Holiday Gift Guide.  Check out the artisan offerings at http://bit.ly/1cv0h2G and consider a handmade Holiday gift for someone special.

I remember my amazement at this scene when I first took this photograph. The sheer beauty was only matched by the sense of community, as one observed locals and tourists gathering to spend an afternoon at the Piazza of the Basilica. They came to light a candle, to pray, to select an art gift at the market, or share a dolci and espresso. Always, the musicians added to the magic.

Thank you to Carolyn and The Arts Business Institute for the nod!

Venetian Jewel
From photographer Mary Serantoni, a signed original Fine Art Photograph of St. Mark’s Basilica in Piazza San Marco — The Jewel of Venice. This photo is 16″ x 24″ and is a perfect celebration of color and detail! Order it now for $98.

'Venetian Jewel' is offered in various sizes as Fine Art prints, Giclee' Gallery Canvas' and postcard gift sets at www.SerantoniDesigns.etsy.com. This print was just shipped to a new home in Brazil!

'The Paris Collection' featured in Photography Blogger

http://www.photographyblogger.net/beautiful-paris-france-travel-photography-by-mary-serantoni/

Much gratitude to author Stephanie Kay-Kok of Photography Blogger for featuring selections from The Paris Collection on the popular Photography Blogger (10.25.2013).


Beautiful Paris, France – Travel Photography by Mary Serantoni

Mary Serantoni is a fine art travel photographer who’s originally from Chicago and now lives in Phoenix. She loves photographing the beauty of European streets. Her pictures of Venice, Italy look like soft paintings, while her shots of Paris, France are sharper, focusing on specific details like the poetry of a colorful door or a picturesque metro sign. Rather than showing grand scenes, Mary captures the beauty of Paris through these lovely details.
To see more of Mary’s photography, visit her websiteblog or Etsy shop.

French Botanicals

The French Bouquets rival the Italian wines. It's very difficult not to select one on the way home. As Italians insist on a small glass of wine with the evening meal, the French enhance the artful home with the beauty of florals. The goal is the same, creating a 'Dolce Vita' lifestyle of living the sweet life. Simple pleasures are the best.

Fine art prints are available at SERANTONI Designs.
