- Venice seems to shimmer and sparkle and as I passed
this gondola on its way to the Lido Island, it seemed
to sway and sparkle in the shimmering heat and
light. Colours seem to be transformed with light.
Nearly all gondolas are black but the light and the reflection
of the lagoon on this particular day, seemed to
turn the gondola into a sparkling emerald on a
sapphire sea with a lavender sky and gold buildings. Venice
is like a magical, glittering jewel in the sparkling
Adriatic Ocean. I used light swishes of harmonious textured
brush strokes and palette-knives application of
smooth acrylic paint to achieve this look.
