Great scene and composition, Lesley. The deep red/pink in the water looks well against the paler blues.

Some nice work here Lesley, especially the water (although it looks to run down to the right a bit).

Lovely to see one of your Venetian paintings again Lesley. Beautiful colours and reflections and I like the touch of the washing hanging from the balcony.

Thanks everyone :) Frank, you are right about the water - probably due to my appalling photography skills and cropping, Thankfully, it's pretty horizontal on the canvas.

Beautifully painted, Lesley! That contrast of the bright reflection against the muted tones of the shadowed building and its reflection really lead the eye into the painting.

Great painting!

Your back! Nice to see you again Lesley. Love this warm sunny reflection of the Rose House. The washing adds a homely touch.

Lovely scene Lesley! I particularly like the poles in the foreground and the colour of the Rose House.

Nice to see another couple of your Venice paintings,mI always enjoy them.

Many thanks Seok Yam, Carole, Debs, Sarah and Stephen :)

Beautiful Venice and another gem from you, Lesley.

Oil on canvas 25 x 30 cms (10 x 12 ins). Where the foreground poles were in bright sunlight, and there was an interesting shadow on the house.

Lesley Dabson

I love to paint water, with boats, buildings or simply the water in oils. I'm a regular at life drawing sessions where I usually get covered in charcoal!
