Venetian Street -Almost finished- WIP

I consider this watercolor almost done. I may come back to this painting - I still have some work to do to differentiate the left hand side of the far building from the sky seen between the building; the first balcony needs to be straightened out etc...I took the picture below tonight with a flash - so the colors may not be quite exact.  Under glass, this painting really does not look too bad - the eye is really attracted to the light at the end of the street. At the moment, I feel like painting something new...I may give that 300lb HP Fabriano a try.
Have a great week everyone.

    Mary, thank you so much for this sweet message.It's such encouragement that keeps me going since I never like my paintings at all until I have put them aside for a while.
