I am a painter. I am enchanted to be a painter. I discovered painting late, after more than 20 years as a computer developer and project manager.
This is a journal of my painting as it unfolds including differents stages in the painting process from sketch to finished painting.

Grand Canal - raising my pulse

Session 2
This one is really beginning to raise my pulse. The luscious blues with oranges and reds. Can I keep it with this freshness and yet cut out the buildings just a touch more?

Venice has been painted so many times before, but when you've been there, it almost commands you paint it.
