Signed Painting of a Girl on a Bike from Brazil, "Bike in Rio"
Framed by abstract brown clouds, a girl rides a bike in the Brazilian city Rio de Janeiro. She overlooks Guanabara Bay; in the distance she can see the iconic mountain duo Sugarloaf Mountain and Corcovado. A person parasails through the skies while another windsurfs through the waters. Claudia Thomaz paints this enigmatic scene in a loose, expressive style.

"Romantic Impressionism at its Best"
Beautiful. Thomaz has a wonderful sense of the romantic and the skills needed to bring her ideas to the canvas. The colors and textures match the mood of the couple at the focal point of the scene; a scene whose composition is almost perfect. What can't be seen in the jpg photo on the web site is the paintings plasticity which Thomaz achieved by using thick drops of paint on the leaves in the foreground. I live in a relatively large European city and I first searched the galleries here for an appropriate anniversary gift for my wife, but found nothing on offer in any price range that matches the romantic emotions conveyed by this painting. Thomaz is a talented artist and, for the right occasion, I would not hesitate to buy another one of her works.
