Venice Canal

“A realist, in Venice, would become a romantic by mere faithfulness to what he saw before him.”
– Arthur Symons

This painting is completed with a palette knife to give texture, bold colour and movement.

Originally‚ I picked up the palette knife to loosen my painting technique. With a brush in hand‚ I was often tempted to agonise over the detail. I actually love the loss of control that the knife provides and the application of oil paint with its buttery texture.
