Resting Gondolas

After a trip to Venice, an interpretation of one of my photos which was taken on the Grand Canal at sunset, all the boats were being tied up for the night and life was becoming a little less hectic.

    Lovely painting, Linda. What I really like is how you have captured the vulnerability of those beautiful buildings…

  • Linda Ridpath replied

    you are so right, not a straight line among them, all the paint and plaster peeling, so romantic, but so old and vulnerable… (and sometimes a little smelly!) thanks xx
