Venice Doorway III

“Venice Doorway III”

Walking in the sun, with these beautifully made building that have been weathered for centuries, just make you stop and admire the textures and colors, as well as the history behind each building.

Is this finished? Well, I do see something that needs changing, but it’s late, I will do it tomorrow, and I am posting anyway! So we took this trip to Italy, Florence & Venice. Americans are so taken with the beautiful architecture in Europe, combined with the stunning light in Italy, and I am no exception. How can I Not paint these lovely doorways. One imagines, “who lives here, and who loves to tend to their window plants so well?” I will never know…but will always enjoy looking at this picture.

Yet another revisitation of an old painting. I loved bringing out the highlights, showing that warm wonderful Italian sun. This was from a show I did with Lavinia Wiggins called “Postcards,” about places we’ve been or wanted to have been. I still would like to go to Venice!
