About A gondola is a traditional Venetian sculling boat. Gondolas were for centuries the chief means of transportation within Venice and still have a role in public transport, serving as ferries over major canals. A sumptuary law of Venice required that gondolas should be painted black, and they are customarily so painted now. A gondolier, under Venetian law, must have been born in Venice to practice this profession. Gondolas are hand made using 8 different types of wood (fir, oak, cherry, walnut, elm, mahogany, larch and lime) and are composed of 280 pieces. The oars are made of beech wood and the left side of the gondola is made longer than the right side to counterbalance the weight of the gondolier.
Venetian tradition dictates that couples must kiss under every bridge for Eternal Love:)

Hi dear Nicole. You are too kind to me, my sweet friend. I do not think I am great in either. I just use these media as means of expression. We all need some 'outlet', so to speak, to express our feelings. Right? I used to do oil paintings, but now it is mainly watercolor. One day when my head is less preoccupied I will send some pictures to your private email.
I am touched that you like my comment, too. And I look forward to seeing more of your wonderful pictures from Venice.

You too, take good care and have awonderful week-end, my dear friend.
Big hugs,
Minoo

Beautiful capture dear Nicole! It brings back very nice memories.
It is a beatiful composition with lively colors.
I like it so much. It is really a lovely coincidence for me, because I painted the very same spot when I was in my early 20s (centuries back now :)) But my painting was from winter time when everything was a bit grayish.
Excelent picture dear Nicole.
Big hugs,
Minoo
