Evening in Venice

Venice is one of the most romantic cities in the world. A family member and her husband recently celebrated a significant wedding anniversary there and were so excited about the experience they had. She asked  me to try to portray the feelings she felt. She remembers riding the gondola in the early evening and paddling in to some beautiful buildings with lighted restaurants below them. The water was beautiful and the atmosphere was great.

You will notice the reflections of the lights in the water. The restaurant has warm colors, while the buildings above have a cooler hue. I have one gondolier in the picture to add interest.

I love this so much because I can’t imagine a more wonderful place to visit. You have painted it with such beautiful color! I just want to hop in a gondola and float away in that gorgeous water with all the reflected lights.

This is such a beautiful, interesting painting. It always takes my breath away when I see it hanging on Sarah’s wall. It’s one of the paintings that I look forward to the chance of seeing again and again.
