Original artwork description:

‘Venetian Doorway’ captures the elegance and weathered charm of Venice’s iconic architecture. The composition centers around two large, arched doorways with ornate wrought-iron details, and faded wooden doors painted in muted blues. The walls surrounding the doorway tell a story of history, with peeling plaster revealing layers of warm ochre beneath.
Below, the still, green water of the Venetian canal reflects the doorway and walls, enhancing the serene and atmospheric mood. Subtle ripples in the water are depicted with fluid strokes, creating a sense of movement.
On the right, is a barred window and its dark frame contrasts against the light toned wall. The wooden posts on the left perhaps a mooring point, sets the scene of Venice’s unique aquatic setting. The light enhances the natural patina of the structure. This painting intends to evoke a sense of calm and nostalgia of the Venetian waterways.
