This time, the title of my post ("Reflections") is not about my thoughts, but instead about my subject matter. I have been fortunate to spend a great deal of time in Venice, and have always been fascinated by the undulating images reflected in the waters there. The way that the palazzos rise directly out of the water creates reflections that are unrivaled by any others. Not a thing to be missed! 

"Crazy Reflections II'

24 x 30

As the art historian Paul Hills writes in his book Venetian Colour (p. 9):

On clear days, the water appears glassy,

reflecting either the blue sky or the ochres, peach and rust reds

of plastered walls.

The surface is laced with small ovals,

interlocking, rocking, molten, mercurial,

shimmering in their alteration of brilliant sky blue

and intense hues of orange.
