Venice after the rain, is a scene from a visit to Venice in the mid 1980s. A photo was taken in the early evening, after a brief rain shower. The first painting was a smaller (less detail), original, and was sold. This current edition (as shown) is one of my favorites and draws much attention during showings. I visited Venice in the summer of 2004 and the same blue boat was still in the picture since my 1980s photo.
