This painting is watercolour on paper and is the eighth in the Venice series. This is the first one with people in it. I was really taken with this group resting in the sun by the Grand Canal.
i love this one !!!the poeple in the background look so relax and the breeze from the water cool on their face as the boats rock awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh Freda, I am always so impressed by your work and this one certainly holds no exception. I spent about a week on Lido and would regularly cross over to Venice. This would be just how I would remember it and its been more years than I care to mention that I was there. Beautiful work.
Thanks so much, Jim. Yes, we stayed at the Lido too. It was worth staying out of Venice, to get that first glance as one crossed over. Magnificent!

A lot of detail, but beautifully done Freda. I like the tones, the colours. Although there are many people in it, it shows peace and quiet all over.
Thank you Arie
