Somehow I envision your closet as being very deep, indeed. The water color treasures seem unending in what must be vast vaults filled with your wonderful images, Carol.
Gelato or sorbet! We skipped the gondola ride in Venice and just had fun zipping around on their local water taxis. I don't feel deprived. I guess you can bargain, but the price seemed to be the equivalent of $150. That buys a lot of gelato!
Oh! can I please have my pistachio ice-cream whilst sitting in a gondola with a handsome Italian paddling away!! or is this what is know as -"having your cake and eating it too" Do you realise Carol that BEAR has the perfect outfit to be a gondolier !!! nice and stripey - perhaps he could row my boat. C'est possible!
Fortunately most of the side effects are positive; a good sense of balance, relaxed disposition, slight suntan, and good physical fitness level are all results of this syndrome.
Sigh--- There is something magical about Venice and of course the gondola adds to this - it's easy to catch Goldola fever. It takes me bag and makes me want to go now!
CAROL - those paintings are so gorgeous! You manage to incorporate such a misty mystique into them, just like you did with the boat painting in Maine. I think boats and water are your thing right now. Which means you have many more shores and waters to explore...
Venise... j'aime tellement Venise... Fin mars j'y ai passé un si beau et excellent séjour... Des souvenirs multiples remplissent ma boîte à bons moments, dans un petit coin de ma mémoire... Vos photos me les réaniment... Des couleurs et des lumières exceptionnelles... Gros bisous
I paint Paris dreams and mail 📮 them ❤️ wherever you are 🌎 Receive an illustrated letter 💌 every month from Paris, France 🇫🇷 Hi, I’m Carol Gillott, watercolorist ex-NYer living on Ile St-Louis in a 20 meter chambre de bonne sending out Illustrated letters monthly from Paris. A travel artist, travel blogger, writer, watercolorist, photographer, I share my personal travels experiences so you can travel vicariously through my sketches and words.
Describe what you love about France in 3 words. Can we make it 5 words? Eyes, ears, nose, tastebuds + brain. Paris stimulates all my senses constantly. I’m inspired all the time – endlessly surprised and amused. New York doesn’t do it for me anymore…

Yikes, your comments click went awry and displayed the raw xml for the web page! I don't 'think' any email addresses were revealed....
meanwhile, I have contacted a lady who loves Venice and asked her to check out your gondolas
personally I prefer calorific paintings, you know raspberry macrons, strawberry tarts, that kind of thing...

I came home from Venice a week ago, and already missing my favorite city!
the light in Venice just makes every photo perfect, even ones I've taken.
OUI!
This is a great idea!

Whenever I think of Venice I think of that old movie "Don't look now" with Julie Christie and Donald Sutherland. Must rent it again!
When we were in Venice 3 years ago we wandered around and found a shop where a craftsman was carving parts for gondolas - very interesting!
Gondola Fever is easy to diagnose.

Such a romantic experience. Not every couple can visit the place.
