You definitely caught the Venice vibe. The colors on the water are placed perfectly. I'd love this painting on my wall!

I also really like Living Room Dawn & would never have guessed a LR as the source of inspiration. Very cool.

Are you still experimenting with watercolors?

You just never know where you find inspiration for a painting. And yes, I'm still playing around with watercolors. I'm about to try doing a Venice painting in them in a few minutes!

balance to it -- off the top of my head, that's the only way I can think to explain it. Me -- of the paintings you've posted, to me this is your best yet. It's really good. I would hang it on my wall for sure.

You are making acrylic paint work for you, especially the intense colors.

The color choices have made are so joyful, and your rendering of the buildings and water are so expressive! Lots of positive emotion in this painting, thank you for sharing!
