Description

"The Venice of My Recollection"
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 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, was most tiring!

Please note: This is to be part of a another project, which I will paint next that will take on a spiritual or religious aspect, so please come back to check out a second version of this!
