Canals at dusk, Oil on Canvas 24x36 inches
This vibrant oil painting captures a dreamlike interpretation of a Venetian canal scene through the lens of expressive color and architectural rhythm. The composition is framed by two tall yellow ochre buildings that guide the viewer’s eye toward the canal, where a lone gondolier drifts under a modest footbridge.
Bright, contrasting colors—red, green, ochre, and blue—define the facades of the buildings, enhancing a whimsical and theatrical feel. The linear perspective draws us deep into the painting, where a richly detailed palazzo stands at the vanishing point, framed by a dramatic cobalt and ultramarine sky that evokes twilight or early evening.
The canal itself is rendered in moody emerald and navy tones, its reflective surface inviting a sense of mystery and calm. The foreground features a white balustrade, leading the viewer’s gaze downward into the scene, as if they are standing on a balcony witnessing this quiet urban moment.
Brushstrokes are confident and painterly, adding texture and movement, while the use of bold, Fauvist-inspired color choices injects the scene with emotion and energy. The painting blends impressionistic cityscape traditions with a contemporary narrative tone, celebrating both place and imagination.
