Both of these paintings were done on the same morning. I was in an area I hadn't painted in before when I saw all the gondolas lined up waiting. "Morning Lineup" was finished just as the gondoliers started arriving to get their boats ready for the day.
The second painting, "Over the Wall" was started on a cloudy morning, but then it started to rain. I tried standing in a doorway with my umbrella being held in place with my head, but that didn't work for long. I ended up waiting out the rain and finishing the painting when the rain stopped.

TREATS INDEED!!! WHAT INCREDIBLE BEAUTIES -- YOU'VE ALREADY MADE ME HOMESICK FOR ITALY -- I ADORE YOUR ARTWORK, I'M PINING FOR A BOOK FROM YOU -- HONEY -- THESE ARE MAGNIFICENT!
I love all of them, I want to go there!
The canal has perfect colors and perspective, very charming. The cottage is also gorgeous. You did super job despite the rain delay.
Lin - Thanks. I'm homesick too.
Helen - Thanks so much.
Ai - It seems odd to be home painting scenery now instead of old crumbling buildings. Thanks!
