I passed this street scene numerous times while I was in Venice for a workshop with il Chiostro and Louise Freshman Brown. It was actually steps away from our hotel. I always saw a painting each time I walked down it. This second, or studio version, was painted one year after the original which was painted on the spot. Both paintings are similar compositionally but vary in color, light and mood.
