Venice
Oil on Board, 18 x 24 in

Well I was teaching in studio and had nothing to paint, student offered me a stack of photos to look through. Although I don’t like working for the pictures, and particular not for pictures of the places I’ve never been, this one caught my eye. The 18th is my best friends birthday, and she’s living in France far away where I’ve never been. I think painting this was partly because she was on my mind, and partly because I liked it…and why not? This is not the best photo of it but it will do for now.
