Piazza after Rain (Oil on canvas, 12 x 12 ins)
Trying to get into the routine of going to the Club again, I went along on Thursday and finished this small painting of a piazza in Venice. I wish I could remember the name of the piazza - if you know it, please let me know.
It was relatively quiet but evidence of work was everywhere, especially in the drying racks, which were full. I had to find a space in the print-making room to put my painting out of harm's way. Apparently there's talk of changing the arrangements for storage of paintings, perhaps eliminating the wooden drying racks which, though elegantly made by a time-served joiner, don't really meet the needs of the Club. Putting a shelf round the room, rather like a plate shelf, would probably suit us better.

I had to respond with this, since I don't do Italy much, and it was an uncanny thing to see something that reminds me of something else. Your authentic works always draw me in.
I don't have your sense of resolve, and I am utterly fascinated with how the red sky hovers the yellow building - I think it is amazing.

Oops - I meant to show you this comparison of what I did from a photo I took in Riva Del Garda.
Indeed, love the red sky and the shapes...
Reflections are good!

A very belated thank you for all your comments, especially to Casey, who always makes me feel I'm on the right track.
