Hanging out the sheets

Hanging out the sheets
Oils 12" x 16"


This is definitely one of my favourite paintings (and subjects) from the last trip to Venice. Parts of this were reworked a little bit back in the studio, and I find there are some very pleasing passages. I have photos of this scene including passing gondolas so I don't think I'll be stopping with this motif yet...

But I'm driving off to London today to deliver this special one along with two other Venice faves and a couple of London scenes to the Russell Gallery in Putney for their winter show.

I'm also meeting a couple of artist friends for lunch who I don't see very often so that will be a great treat!

    Bonjour,

    Une peinture qui sent bon Venise, celle que je connais et que j'affectionne...
    Les couleurs et l'atmosphère est très palpable... Beau travail.

    J'espère que vous aurez un déjeuné très agréable entourée d'amis.

    Gros bisous ♡

    That's a beaut right there Sarge, a little cracker of a painting and won't last long I'm sure!

    Hi Haidee.
    A very nice painting. It reminds me of a Ken Howard painting, so you are in good company Haidee. All the best.
    Vic.

    Oooh how I would love to see your work in real, it's seems so thinly painted with such an accurate touch, ... it makes it sometime really look like a watercolour and yet it got the full richness of oils, ... keep hanging out your sheets of canvases Haidee, ... love them!

    I love this painting. Just beautiful. Especially the color of the water and the harmony overall.
