Visiting in Venice

This is my first of hopefully many paintings from a trip we recently took to Italy.   What a beautiful country with so many inspiring places.  I now recognize some of the subject matter for a number of artists whose work I admire.  When traveling there, bring your best camera with plenty of memory cards and fill your boots.  Sadly I only took about 900 photos.  Sounds like a lot, but I wish I'd taken 2000 or more.  Just didn't always have the opportunity with all the tours we took etc.  Nonetheless, it was a great time and we will go back sometime.

  4. OO, sounds so wonderful! I know what you mean, you get home with that many photos and think about how it could have been exponentially more - but you need time to actually take it into your being too...time to LOOK.
    The line, backlight and the color on this one is great!
    I am so glad that you will be painting more!
