When I lived in Germany in the 1970s I remember watching a movie one day.
It was in German "Wenn Die Gondeln Trauer Tragen" the English title is "Don't Look Now".
It made me an instant fan of Donald Sutherland and of Venice.
~~~~~
It's a great movie based on a novel by: Daphne Du Maurier

My whole life even as a child I loved the Dramatic, somewhat dark and surreal and mysterious.
I asked many questions, gave few answers, and was always just a bit sad. Shortly an odd mysterious child.
~~~~~
This movie created my lasting impression about Venice.
I was thinking about "Don't look now" when I painted this, I wanted to create that feeling I feel when thinking of Venice.
~~~~~
The canals of Venice which resemble the corridors of the mind, unforeseen turns and shadows. Cool darkness and hollow footsteps, running towards the light, long steps stretching as if in a time warp or bad dream. Somewhere around the corner of this maze plays a band and people are joyousness but still hiding their faces behind masks.
