Description

When Jesus Comes in the Clouds...Seen at Venice
According to Wikipedia, Venice is renowned for the beauty of its setting, its architecture, and its artwork.[2] The city in its entirety is listed as a World Heritage Site, along with its lagoon.[2
This particular view features part of the Grand Canal and the backside of the basilicas of San Marco. I have created an unusually bright and dynamic sky with the sun just beginning to set between the end of summer and the beginning of the season of Autumn. I wanted the sunset to cast a rosy and golden glow on the buildings and the their amazing architectural detail along with the water glistening from the warmth of the sun. In short, I wanted to give this part of the city a romantic and inviting treatment to draw in the viewer's eye to want to come and explore this magnificent city!
This has been, though very enjoyable, the result of a long and arduous effort to paint, as with my worsening arthritis, I am not able to paint even a straight line without the aid of a ruler! Since I like to freehand all of my original works of art, using a ruler not just for the laying out of general guidelines and/ or proportions for the scale of the buildings and its architectural detail, but for almost the entire painting, except the sky and water, is most tiring!
This version has the image of Christ coming in the clouds! The image is actually applied digitally by juxtaposing a painting I just painted of Christ onto this scene of Venice! The following scriptures come to mind...
"then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory." Mark 13:26
"That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;"
Philippians 2:10
