This painting is part of my “Memories of Venice” series and it was inspired by my own photo reference from a recent trip to Venice. The intricate metalwork, the textures of the crumbling brickwork, the unique green of the canal waters under that very special Venice light…all this fading beauty called to be painted.
This painting was done in a modified poured technique which allows colors to mix beautifully.Venetian Doorway was featured in:
Just Watercolours in August 2009
Windows and Doors in August 2009
Art up Close in September 2009
Voted One of the Top Ten entries in:
- “Doors & Windows of Italy Challenge" in “Italy and all Things Italian” group – 29/09/2009
-Door with Window Challenge in ‘Windows and Doors’ – 22 /03/2010

Thank you very much, Annette! I am glad that I have decided to join Red Bubble and am very proud to be part of this group.
I love your trees. You mention in your bio that walking through the woods is a cleansing of the soul….from your paintings, I would say that you understand the soul of trees. Christiane
