Complicated Answer Ann Chaikin

My Reflections on the Reflections of Venice
by Ann Chaikin

Venice, Italy

The title of this painting is "Venice Still Life" and I painted it after our trip to Italy. I finished the painting in October and took the trip in June. This is my photograph of my painting... getting confused? Here is the photograph I used as reference for this painting: http://www.pbase.com/ptkitty/image/99955063

Thanks for the very interesting juxtaposition of your photo and your painting, and the painting being a photo, makes for a very clever take on the theme. You made many fine choices.

Hi Ann. I appreciate your sharing what you choose to omit and include as you transfer your vision from film to paint. The water and other surfaces have added bouyancy. Hmmm .... the 'energy' of your original reminds me of the base of your Impressionist picture and this painting more teh smoothness and serenity of the top sky section. Best wishes
