This is number nine in the series on Venice. I was struck by the contrast between the deep shadow of the arched colonnade and the square outside. And just a peek of the Basilica. As it was early morning, only a few people were about and lovely long shadows. I used just a few of the very many pigeons to lead the eye away, across the square.
Thank you all again so much for the numerous faves and watches. I really do appreciate these.
Even if this were a photograph it would be a masterful shot due to its great composition (and I thought it was at first glance), but to be a watercolour with this kind of detail just amazes me. Freda, you set the standard so high – this is a masterpiece without question.
Thank you very much, Jim, I really do appreciate your kind comments.
Masterpiece is the word! When ever I see the thumbnail of one of your paintings I know I am in for a treat…but this is just superb. I cannot begin to imagine how you achieved such a magnificent result! The perfect detail, the shadow and light, the architecture…words fail me! It is a privilege to see your work Freda.
Estelle, you are so very kind, thank you very much
