Venice, Italy 4

Taking a break from the background, I work in a fashion unlike my typical behavior. I paint a foreground element in early. Typically, I work from back to front. However, like a little child, sometimes I'm impatient and need to get a visual about proportions and balance. Anyways, the lamps are a key component to the landscape settings in Venice. It also gave me an opportunity to paint an item that is absolute in its design; unlike to sky which is always changing.
