Artists Description

To capture the drama of this situation, I used a palette knife and mostly cold blue and green acrylics using heavy texture to depict the struggle this gondolier is having to cross the wide, exposed lagoon with uncustomary waves making his job a lot harder than usual! He hasn’t the bottom of the shallow canals to push the gondola along with his long wooden pole, but has to row and try to balance the narrow, canoe-like vessel all the way across to the other Islands.
