I'm always fascinated by people who paint this church and others like it, with all that architectural detail. You did a great job on it. When you get home you have to try another large painting of this scene.
I am having so much fun watching your paintings from Venice. I would be happy to tilt my head sideways if you were to upload a horizontal painting. I am so glad you're getting to a computer to share these with us! Keep having fun.... I'm watching. *big grin*
I have always participated in the visual arts including watercolors, drawing and sketching, pen and ink, and photography. Since retiring from teaching I have devoted much of my time to watercolors, sometimes combining them with pen and ink or collage.
Watercolor is the perfect medium to capture the beauty that surrounds us. I love to travel, and sketch and paint wherever I go. Painting, especially on location, captures the spirit and life of the subject. I hope to continue doing that for a long time to come.

Awesome work, Joan. Easy to see the magnificence of this place just by having the figures in the piece!
What, no pigeons?

Just wonderful. You've captured it. Love the early morning light.

This is beautiful. We are enjoying all your sketches. We will see the others when you get home! Thanks for taking the time.
A great watercolor of a difficult, but beautiful setting Joan! You captured it with such gentle atmosphere.

That's the best time of all - I walked into it at 7am on a Sunday morning and it was virtually deserted - joy of joys!
That view is a challenge though - you've done well!
