My inspiration for this piece is Venice — a city I return to often, both in person and in paint. I’m particularly drawn to the vibrant blue gondola covers that line the canals; their cerulean tone is not only beautiful, but iconic. In this painting, I wanted to capture the way those blues contrast with the warm golds and cool shadows reflected in the water. It’s a simple everyday scene, yet uniquely Venetian.
This work is painted in oil on canvas board using professional artist-grade paints. The expressive brushwork and saturated colours bring movement and richness to the piece.
It would suit any space in need of energy, colour, or a touch of European charm — especially a hallway, reading corner, or creative workspace.
It will need to be framed.
