Carol, I have loved Wings of the Dove since I first saw it on the big screen many, many years ago. I think there are some of the most beautiful "blues" in that movie, in mosaics, walls and gowns that I have ever seen, eclipsed only by Venice herself. It's a beautiful film and the soundtrack is magnificent and unforgettable. Thanks for reminding me with your beautiful watercolors. I'm glad I own Wings.......
The clothes were magnificent..It 's funny.. went 3 yrs ago..it looked the same:) We stayed outside of Venice..would have loved to stay in a palazzo such as Millie's..Just for once..
Not necessary..but it would have been memorable..
Sad ending:( Hope I am not spoiling it.. I love the way they caprured Venice at night..and in the rain also..Thank you for recommending it.
I paint Paris dreams and mail ๐ฎ them ❤️ wherever you are ๐ Receive an illustrated letter ๐ every month from Paris, France ๐ซ๐ท 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…

I don't write often enough to tell you how fantastic Paris breakfasts is.
And how much I enjoy every one - so here it is:
It is, and I do!
Best,

Even more painted beauty! I'm definitely going to check out that movie...
Love these Carol...xv
Good luck with the sale, Carol!
All of the paintings look beautiful!
You really capture the atmosphere of Venice.....
I love Venice almost as much as Paris.

I hope we have it on Netflix..sometimes my daughter across the street gets a movie..and we don't:(
I will look for this..we love all movies that bring us back there:)..to other areas of Italy.. and to Provence..
Watched The Tourist ..it was Venice too..
LOVE the watercolors..
Thanks for the movie tip..
We watch one almost every night..
Nana:
WINGS is streaming now in NYC...but they do rotate as I understand it.
Wings is much more romantic/dreamy/divine than The Tourist.
MUCH more!!
Carol I must see this film!! Your art is so beautiful!!

Love the immediacy of these lush little Gondola water colors, Carol. They capture the essence, like Venetian Haiku poems.

Beautiful watercolours!! I especially like the Blue Dusk.
Sigh. Now I want to go to Paris AND Venice!!
(Totally irrelevant comment: I just got "bozoness" as my word verification. Interesting word, eh?!)
Carol, Your Venice watercolors are gorgeous!
I am off to rent this movie, thank you x
Really beautiful. I especially love "Purple Moon."
