Acrylic on canvas 24 by 48 inches
Felt like doing Venice again! The trip is still fresh in my mind.Though I had enjoyed the gondola ride during the day, I would have preferred a night ride that did not materialize. So this is from imagination! Music, moon and the gondola ride, what can be better than that!
The color is brilliant. I love the way the light goes through the painting. Nice work.
ReplyDeleteThis is Venice, Padmaja style!! The colours are alive and the sense of movement on the water is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI like the connection of reds and greens. And most of all I like the dramatic sky. So powerful.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful, Padmaja. Your colors are always so stunning and full of life. I just do not know how you do it! I'll probably never be able to see Venice but I sure love seeing it through everyone else's eyes!
ReplyDeleteOoh, Venice! This painting conjures that romantic, dreamy feeling of that place so perfectly. I was there with a school tour group, when I was 17, but I remember it so vividly!
ReplyDeleteindeed what could be better .. and then you made this portrait to show it all

Interesting colors for sky and water, and your use of the acrylic paint reminds me of watercolor, its beautiful and translucent.

Wow, Lovely Padmaja! Memories are still fresh of having seen Gondolas in Venice:)
ReplyDeleteThe intense green sky and the water complimented so nicely. And then the use of yellow and red is brilliant.
ReplyDeleteYou are right, I think! The night ride you evoked here, looks magical!
ReplyDeleteThis just glows, and I love all the curving ends of the gondolas. It's music in painting form.
ReplyDeleteYou have an amazing way with colors. They are all stored in the correct place. Just come pouring down when you want. No pics required. This is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! You have a great memory & imagination :)
ReplyDeleteI have to say something that just strikes me as a beautiful thing you do. Your color choices so intrigue me. You are fearless in their use and your use of green for sky is so wonderful! and brings out a spiritual quality in in the landscape. I love that about your work!!!!
ReplyDeleteI love the light in this painting. I remember taking a gondola ride in Venice and it cost a fortune! I also must echo some of the others comments with respect to your color choices, which are wonderful.
