Venice

Venice is my favourite city. I have been there many times and can not wait to go again. I love it for its peace and total lack of road vehicles. There are the boats of course with motors but not that many once away from the Grand Canal. I take a stool bag which contains my drawing and painting kit which includes a sketchbook, pens, and charcoal. I usually take a small box of watercolours and paper. I paint small scale, 7"x5". If I am lucky I come back home a having painted at least 10 watercolours and maybe 15 to 20 sketches. I take a camera as well and take hundreds of images. Usually at least two thirds are rubbish.
I will never tire of that wonderful water bus trip along the Grand Canal. It has to be the best short bus trip in the world. I doubt much has changed along it for hundreds of years.
