collector comment:
 "I wanted to let you know I received your painting "The Four
Gondolas in Venice" yesterday evening and all I can say is
wow! It is striking- even more beautiful than I had
anticipated. Your style is so unique compared to other
artists and I can't put my finger on what it is. All I know
is it works and I love it! Thank you so much. Rest assured
that I will be a collector of your work for a long time."
This is the first small painting I’ve made available directly on my blog in a while. On our last visit to Italy we saw these Gondolas in the Bacino Orseolo near Piazza San Marco where you can arrange for a ride in one of these beautiful boats. The design of the gondola dates back over 1,000 years and a few are still made each year. Some day I want to create a computer 3-D model of a gondola, but it would take some time to do. If anyone has already done this I’d like to know about it.
