Wonderful. Timeless... the street lights could be gas, the people from centuries ago, camp fires on the other bank. A great series of daily delights from Venice. Thank you Julian.

Beautiful! I have been enjoying your paintings! They're truly great! And I like they way you caption with short description or a sentence story yest can capture the event.

perhaps my computer is distorting this image so that the sky does not appear to be dark? a little confusing ...I amend my former comment to just say that all your work is magical especially the Venitian water ways...

Julian - a million thanks for the Venice paintings. I do hope (since we've not won the lottery yet) you put some of these up for sale as prints. They're just beautiful, evocative, lyrical, in short - they bring back Venice in all its glory and I've thoroughly enjoyed them - and enjoyed looking forward to seeing them. Thanks again!

Dear Julian, la notte Veneziana belongs to the cats! Not many night owls about.
The reflections, warm pools of light, a sense of being able to see for miles over the water, stunning.
The afterglow in the night sky reminds me of Whistler's Venice, but no, it's all your own! What looks like a cosy, warm bacaro staying open late on the right. And the lamplights do look lit by gas,Gecko! How dreamy and wonderful!
Anna.

Dear Julian, there is something truly ephemeral about this painting. You have captured in your colors and strokes the beauty of the evening in Venice and makes us feel right there. Thank you! -Lucia
