12" × 24" • Acrylic on canvas
Painted after returning from Italy, this piece shows Venetian gondolas on narrow canals. It emphasizes the gentle movement of boats and their reflections, using bold brushstrokes and layered acrylics to capture Venice’s light and color. Soft edges and overlapping shapes hint at alleys and bridges just out of sight. Vivid highlights and muted water tones suggest the city’s mixed scents and sounds. The palette mixes warm sunlit hues with cool blues and greens, creating an immediate, nostalgic atmosphere. An ode to Venice—its colors, air, and water—and the quiet wonder of drifting through its streets and canals.
