- Venice inspires art to flow out of my fingers;
I painted this vibrant painting of gondoliers
on the canal with palette-knives. I very much
enjoy the challenge of painting water and making
it look we and with the light of Venice reflected on
it, in her unique way. Venice is all about gondolas,
water, bridges, glass, domes, architecture, statues,
vibrant colours, light, calles, canals and lagoons
and plenty of boats. I love the way gondolas list
to the side and how the gondolier balances his long,
wooden pole on the foundation of the canal and
steers his way forward, noiselessly swishing through
the still waters from bridge to bridge. My use of
colour depicts all the variety of painted buildings
contrasting with the canal waters and dark gondolas.
