This is a quick sketch of the views onboard the train. It hurtles at 200kph speeds which makes it nearly impossible to photograph anything. The impressive Italian Alps are ever close by with amazing snow capped peaks. The land is fertile and grown with rows of corn, wheat and grapes.
Venice as ever, is beautiful in its decay. We got onto a vaporetto and to our apartment in San Marco. This is the view out of our windows.
I've always wanted to paint a roof top scene. Venice is so glorious but time here is so short that I'm taking tens of photos everyday. Last night we went to a performance by the Interpreti Venezia of Vivaldi's four seasons. Held at Chiesa San Vidal, it was outstanding musicianship at a glorious venue.
