- So far, it's been possible to
walk about Venice alone
in the dark until at least
midnight when the shops shut during tourism seasons.
To see all the domes
lit up against the backdrop
of the clear, starry night, is indeed a majestic sight
begging to be captured on
canvas as I have done h
ere. Gondolas swish quietly
past even at night, each
having their own e
erie-looking lamp lighting
up the pathway through
the canals. Lights sparkle
like glittering jewels everywhere. I used light
texture in this acrylic painting
to give a feeling of the
tranquillity I felt while
sketching and documenting
this scene and while
later painting it in my studio.
