Original artwork description:

Ocean's Nursling
The title for this painting is inspired by the poem
Lines Written among the Euganean Hills by Percy Bysshe Shelley, in these lines

"Underneath Day's azure eyes
Ocean's nursling, Venice lies,

Abstractions from Venice - part of a recurring series in which I explore the greens, the insubstantiality and light qualities of Venice. Working towards abstraction gives the elements I am interested in the freedom to take shape in the painting.
Poetry and painting mingle together in these paintings of Venice as I remember the light airy canals, the vast planes of sea, the flat slivers of light.
Watercolour let loose seems to be the most appropriate and expressive medium for this subject.
The watercolour painting is unframed on heavy weight archival paper
