Sailing with the Venice Clouds
About this artwork
This watercolor painting of the famous Venice canal is all about that solitary gondola sailing under the cloudy sky, says artist Swarup Dandapat. The viewer can see various gondolas and boats anchored on both sides of the great canal, in the shade of the historic buildings. Black-gray rain clouds are gathering in the sky, although rays of the sun pierce the clouds here and there to light up the nooks and corners of the buildings. Amidst all this, a single gondola is sailing through the calm teal water.
