I TALY
My ongoing series of views of Venice from the water were a chance to relive John Singer Sargent’s 1913 watercolours, (in his case painted from a gondola) – most scenes almost unchanged. Eugene Boudin inspired a view of Le Port de Antibes, also almost unchanged from his 1893 viewpoint. (illustrated in “In Good Company” pages 31,32). These paintings are inspired by stories from the past but are retold in a different way and have something new to say.
