This was a painting completed in my studio in Denver in 2005 from a smaller painting entitled, “Santa Maria della Salute I”, which was done en plein aire in Venice in 2003.

There is a nice balance of cool and warm colors which helps play up the fact that the sun was rising and hitting only portions of the Venetian architecture. I enjoyed painting these paintings and will paint the same scene whenever I return to Venice.
