I was recently commissioned to do this work and was hesitant as it has always been important to me to have visited a place or had some sort of experience before committing paint to canvas. Florence and Rome are in my travel journals, but not Venice.I believe as an artist, I need to have a connection to whatever work I'm doing...so I did the next best thing. I read up on the architecture and the history of Venice and came up with this painting. Now I'm looking forward to seeing that beautiful city at some point in my life. Through painting, I have started my research!
