Early Morning in Venice

Last week’s blog featured my painting, “Evening in Venice,” so I guess I might as well keep the trend going with another one of my newest Italian landscape paintings, “Early Morning in Venice.” I love early mornings because it’s such a nice, quiet, and peaceful time of the day. I am really happy how in this painting the sun’s warm glow hits against the old worn buildings give them a deceptive look of cheerfulness and warmth. Gently, the early morning breeze floats over the water and gives the water a slight choppiness which slaps happily against the building’s edge.

I love the vibrant colors and the depths of the doorways leading into places of dark mystery. All in all, the scene is very relaxing and I find myself yearning once again for a trip to Italy.
