I painted “Grand Canal II” early one rainy, Venetian morning. I set up along the Grand Canal and tried my best to keep my paper safe from the rain. I think I had several of these paintings going at once.

This is a much more abstract version of the view of the Santa Maria della Salute done in the studio. Venice certainly has its unique color and light which I believe I have captured well here. I could paint this view for weeks and never tire of it…
