I recall one of my painting trips in March 2000 when the weather was quite varied. I arose early one morning to do some painting in the heavy fog.

We were staying close to the Rialto Bridge, so I made myself comfortable on one of the vaporetto stops. Sitting just below the bridge and began to paint the scene before me. I could just make out the distinctive shape of the famous bridge through the fog. As I worked “wet on wet” on rough watercolour paper.

My efforts were punctuated every few minutes by a vaporetto crashing into the boarding platform. This made my work even more challenging! Gradually the fog began to lift and I was able to gather sufficient information to produce the studio watercolour. Rialto Bridge prints Venice have been reproduced as limited edition prints.
