Venice 2

As noted in a previous post, I did a quick painting on our second day in Venice. Shown here is the sketch, as well as a photo of the scene. It is looking across the Grand Canal, with the San Giorgio Maggiore in the background. Keeping me company were a lovely couple from Brighton, England, Ernie & Cherry, whom I may surprise with a visit when I’m painting in the U.K.!

San Giorgio Maggiore – PhotoWhen it got too late in the morning to continue painting, I found a place nearby for lunch. The girls pictured here work in the Osteria da Bacco, and the señorita on the right is the daughter of the restaurant owner. Unfortunately, the father-daughter picture did not turn out, but I have plenty of photos for a little painting of the Osteria!
