Thank you, Margaret.
Thank you Moscatel. I wasn't painting in Venice or anywhere else I've travelled. I always took lots of photos though.
You know, in many cities throughout the world, I have seen artists sitting at their easels and in my mind I move my hand in unison with their brushstrokes. I've envied artists that could just sit and paint wherever they may be. I could say I never had the time. However, I always made time for other things and there are so many beautiful places I would have longed to paint whilst i were there.
I think in some small way I'm too self conscious to paint in a town or city with lots of people and I do envy those that have no qualms in doing so.
