I painted this from a picture I took in San Marcos Square in Venice when we went there on vacation a couple of summers ago. The woman epitomizes the pseudo glamour of Venice, even as she hunkers in her chair looking down with some disdain on the pigeons while smoking herself. It had recently rained and I loved everything about that scene. I particularly like the pigeons in this painting and it may be the only time I ever painted a bird in my life.  Or at least a pigeon.
