Venice (Europe 11)

So .. do I finish an old project or start a new one???

     This photo of Venice has been calling to me. A very grey picture except for the buildings where the canal starts to turn. On our Rick Steves' 21 Day Europe Tour we were able to rent 4 gondolas & a pair of Italian musicians late one evening and we drifted through the canals with our gondolier managing the oar.
 The art quilt size will be approximately 30" X 24" and a little less white/grey


     I couldn't find any material that I thought suitable for the water ... starting with the lighter patterned blue means I can make it darker with Inktense pencils, fabric markers or paint and add angelina fibres to give the luminescent quality.  Lots of threadwork is needed for all the architectural detail. (probably not the detail in the corners of the arch ... I believe the figures are naked men. ha ha)
