This painting of Venice from 2008 was inspired by Turner’s Venetian watercolours and seemed appropriate to post after my last three exercises from the chapter in Lesson’s from the Great Master’s entititled Joseph Mallord William Turner: colour harmony.

Away from the studio today but still in Italy as you can see with this painting from 2006 and another Journal entry for Venezia from 1999.
Journal 9.VII.99
Venice study I 22.5.15
Painting this watercolour and ink sketch in the studio this afternoon allowed me to re-visit our magical trip to Venice in July 1999, a visit documented in a precious journal that I kept throughout our Italian travels that year.
Over the next few days I think I’ll continue with the Italian theme that I’ve started as it is reviving such happy memories, and re-visit a few more special places together with their associated journal entries. I hope you’ll come with me.
Ciao!
