Sunset over St Mark's Basin, Venice

From Landscapes

When there is some cloud in the west, the sunsets in Venice can be spectacular. In this small painting I captured the last moments of the sun setting over the lagoon. As it sets the sun changes from yellow to orange, to a fiery red just as it dips below the horizon.

Venice painting

It is approaching summer now and there are a lot of people on the streets in the Castello region of Venice. Here I am trying to capture the feeling of the street, and the light atmosphere of the sky.
