Great painting of a beautiful city, the view of it as you enter by boat is perhaps one of the finest views in the world. Your Mediterranean sunset and vivid blues are a lovely combination.

Another stunning piece, Alan, and all the more impressive that you did this from memory. The bold lines and accents are superb and really pull the entire painting together beautifully.
