I like it too! Of all the Venice paintings I've seen, this one is really different...artistic...

This is a stunning and quite unusual view of Venice, super rendition of the water and the waves in it lapping against the gondola's

Beautiful work Podi. I've just returned from two weeks in Venice. I have to admit up until then, I didn't "get it" with Venice. Loads of artists paint scenes but it never attracted me. Until I went there. An overload to the senses, I didn't know where to look next! Now I can fully understand how an artist could spend a lifetime there and still not cover half of what Venice has to offer. And you're right, from the early morning mist (as you have painted) to the heat and sunshine of the day, right through to the night. Just gorgeous.

Gr8 work! Who can resist Venice? I have painted a similar work from the Grand Canal,but with San Giorgio in the misty backround. Brings back wonderful memories of my honeymoon with my late husband.
