Venetian Canal Study

This is a study of a Venetian Canal. I wanted to determine if the composition and style will be suitable as a larger piece, and I may soon paint a larger one. I have been trying to paint a picture every day since January 1 to experiment with different subject matter and paint applications, therefore they have all been very small. Now I find it difficult to return to larger pieces as the smaller ones have a greater sense of spontaneity and freshness.

View of the Canal

This is a view of a quiet canal in Venice. There are no tourists and no gondolas, there is only solitude and time to reflect on the sights, smells, far away sounds and the humid summer air. I always wonder what kind of interiors are behind those billowy green awnings. SOLD
