Casa Goldoni Venice by Carole Russell

So very well done Carole. You have won with the perspective. I had answer to you previously and when I press reply, it all vanished and I gave up !

Thank you Beatrice. It does look ok I think - at last!

Well done Carole, my pet hate..........stairs!

Well done, you've succeeded and it looks great. Never been brave enough to tackle stairs myself, your patience has has obviously payed off.

Bill, thank you - stairs are my pet hate too now - you live and learn eh!

Thank you Val. I hate giving up and I'm glad I didn't - thankyou all for your great support

Well done Carole, it is a lovely painting, perspective is great, this is a subject I will definitely not attempt. Love the colours in this painting.

Hello Carole - So much better. I wouldn't like to attempt such a piece. You have done an amazing job on this painting. I can see you have moved the columns at the rear of the staircase. Excellent job. Best wishes Jeannette

Cheers Lorraine. Don't think I will attempt stairs again!

Thank you for your lovely comments Jeannette, Have gone back to seascapes to wash this one out of my hair!

Hello Carole, Claudine again. This struggle of yours with stairs, and perspective has been a fascinating experience, even for this side-line observer. Good recovery indeed! I have just rerurned from the UK where I did a small "plein air" w/c of a wrought iron spiral staircase.... If I am foolish enough to tackle the studio version of it, I will be in touch with you in a flash: I know it's going to be tough. Thanks again for your comments on the Stone House. I appreciate constructice responses. I feel we are all a little too too nice to one another sometimes.

I agree amazing Job I love stairs.

Thankyou Retha

Got your message and thank you for the links. Yes this is the one finished. I think it's brilliant. The alteration on the banister works perfectly. I also found the church which is so atmospheric. Don't know why but teh last portfolio of yours I saw had the church on the front but no church inside. Maybe you have two portfolios and I only found one and I couldn't find this anywhere.

Glad you found it Diana and glad you like my finished Casa Goldoni. A limited edition print of this one went for £100 as a charity auction - which was very pleasing. I'm not sure if I do it right but if you search on my name you should find all my portfolios; Venice, stuff, portraits etc and there are paintings inside each one. The cover image of the portfolio only changes if I add a new work to it

Tried to PM you but couldn't find a user name for the forums. Have you used a different nickname for that??

Hi Diana - I'm under Caz in the forums. I've posted on Merry Christmas in the general forum if that helps?

WoW! ...awesome work...
