Venice beckons......

After a week of finishing off Scottish paintings for Summer Exhibitions, I can at last enjoy some new work from some of the millions of paintings ideas from my recent Venetian travel sketchbook.   The watercolour sketches inspire, and a series of nocturnal paintings are on the cards......  the first is the watercolour from the sketchbook, and the third is the gouache/pastel painting that's been painted from the sketch.  The middle one is the first of a series of 'nocturnal' paintings ..Venice Nights No 1!
