Burano Canal (Venice)

Incredible, I have this exact view in my porfolio! Although the houses are painted in bright colours- I went in 2005, and your viewpoint is slightly to the right, it's unmistakeable. What intrigues me is that you have a tower in the distance which is not there at all in mine, I wonder what happened? I made a mess of the right hand path, but yours is good and I like the movement you have captured with the figures in the scene.

Thanks, Leslie. The church tower in the background is made up. I felt that it gave the painting better balance, so put it in. In reality, it would be stuck in the middle of the lagoon! You are the first person ever to notice, so well done! I need to go back and capture some of the new colours, as I suspect it is now more interesting than when I visited. I've seen your version and as you say, we were standing in the same spot!
