Went to Venice and got a bunch of photos of things I thought I should paint. May abandon this one. Not feeling it.

I tihnk it looks awesome
-
Maybe because u can still smell it.
-
Why? I like it although it feels like a little more modern Venice
-
Change the color of the sky
-
It. Is. GORGEOUS.
-
It is striking. If you abandon it, it is still really lovely.
-
Our daughter’s just been - how about a ragged flag? I love the painting by the way.
-
There is something about the water reflection that is appealing.
-
I like it!
-
Oh my god that is beautiful. Don’t abandon that. I would give everything to be able to do what you do.
-
Wow, I think it is perfect! Pulled me in immediately. It has a feeling of a still day with voices carried up the canal.👌
-
Maybe adjust the skyline to add some contrast,… says the guy who can’t even draw a straight line!
-
This is lovely but needs some darker colors running down the walls, to give them depth. Like the cliffs in Arizona.
-
Add some bright flower boxes and a gondola. It will look brighter!
-
Oh, and don’t even think of adding a window box with red flowers! That sounds like an idea for a Hallmark card.
-
I’m liking it, but I know the feeling when you lose the inspiration and it turns into a slog. I might suggest you put it down for a few weeks and see if you can come back to it with fresh eyes.
-
Feel it!!
-
Interesting, but I am not sure if the details in a typical Venice scenery should be wiped away by the stylisation. Your painting is good, but it removes the authenticity Venice deserves. My take.
-
Please don't. I think it's beautiful.
-
Don’t - change sky
-
Do you sell your paintings?
-
Well, I feel it and I’ve been to Venice a few times. I only wish I had a fraction of your talent.
-
I like it, cool lines and color.
-
I was there a couple times ... this captures one aspect of the place. no ONE picture says everything. I'd give my left nut to be able to do this
-
It is beautiful and has a gloomy feeling. Perhaps it needs the needs the warmth of the sun reflecting off the buildings and water.
-
i’d recommend adding an oddity, a space alien 👽 on the bridge, a mona lisa in a window, even just a cat 🐈 or almost anything with a bit of whimsy: Venice is anything but sterile and quiet 🤐🤫 . this is nice, but i see no Venetian drama 🎭, and there is always drama in life in Italy 🇮🇹 🎨 👨🏻🎨 🍝 🍷 🍨 ✨
-
Good composition maybe more contrast to light and shadow it will be a great painting. I hope you Don’t give it up
-
Ooh this is so good though!
-
Needs a shark fin, if it's otherwise not going anywhere.
-
I like it. A lot. It reminds me of some of the ones my great aunt used to do probably 100 years ago, and I assume these were supposed to be Boston
-
Darken the sky with color would unify the whole composition just in my opinion just a thought I actually like it
-
Yea me too. It looks bland, washed out.
-
I love it!
-
Keep it. Thiebaud like
-
I like it 👌
-
It reminds me of the Venetian backstreets. Stay with it.
-
You captured it.
-
I think it’s lovely…
-
It has the look like it.
-
Amazing! I love it.
-
Oh stop! It’s lovely and you know it.
-
But it's beautiful!
-
I was just there in May and it captures it so well. I thought it was a photo.
-
I'll have it if you're chucking it out 👀
-
I like it. What were your plans for the painting?
It does have a really interesting water canyon feel. Civilization unexpectedly imitates nature. Love how you painted the water. Could add texture to the walls or somehow make walls seem higher or water goes farther back to play up the canyon feel.
-
It is wonderful! Wow!
-
I think it is lovely!
-
I love it!
-
It’s got the correct color palette for “the aroma “ 😁
-
I like that a lot.
-
As Venetian I love it
-
Ooooh. I Iike it!
-
How about a fading sunset in the background?
-
It’s beautiful, come back to it with fresh eyes later. I think the colours need to be a little more vibrant in my opinion.
-
Love it! ❤️
-
I like it.
-
2/2 Try a Ting is Jamaican for take a chance/risk or invent or create a fix for something that needs solving. When a painting leaves you dissatisfied that’s the time to take a chance with a color you don’t normally use. You really do have some beautiful pieces.
-
I looked through your page. Your strengths/interests are how light creates “abstract” images/shapes within the main image & your layout/composition of what you’re painting. You carve a solid foundation for the paint “draftsmanship” You’re traditional but when you feel meh you could try a “Ting” 1/2
-
Don’t give up on this painting. The painting could go frm just peering down a canal, to something more, by adding intense color, a symbolic animal etc. Add a masquerade character walking home over the bridge or looking out the window. Personalize the scene by adding something you’re interested in.
-
Nah it’s quality man
-
Oh, I was just thinking how will you had done. I find streetscapes fascinating.
-
Definitely better than anything I could do. The only thing I would suggest would be to give it more golden hour highlights. Maybe put it away for a week or two and then come back to it.
-
I LOVE THIS!!! I'd totally buy it and hang it on my wall. It's beautiful!
-
I think it is a beautiful painting with the colors & textures but I do agree with you: I don’t feel it.
-
Well, if it matters, I’m feeling it. 😄
-
OK, NOT to put down paintings - many are incredibly beautiful.
BUT, you take a PHOTO of a scene just to "recreate it" [which literally can't] as a painting where you ELIMINATE MANY IMPORTANT DETAILS because your eyes are nothing compared to camera lenses -- so why do it? I'd rather see the photo.
-
I ❤️ this❣️
-
I love it. It captures the warmth of the buildings and the air between them.
-
I’ll take it! I really like it
-
Love it…if you are abandoning it, I will happily take it off your hands…reminds me of something my mom painted years ago, and then lost in the moves we made as a military family!!!
-
Love it
-
i like it!
-
Looks like it’s coming together
-
Abandon it over here. It's perfect!
-
Its wonderful.
If you can, keep going.
-
Fantastic
-
Please don’t abandon it, it is beautiful. I was stationed in Italy in the military, I loved Venice, this picture is beautiful.
-
Stick with it 👍. Even if you did no more to it, it works for me 👏👏

-
looks great to me
-
its done
-
I think this one is really good. The reflections in the water, the lighting, the colors, the mood👍🏻.
-
It’s lovely
-
Maybe a gondola tied near the bridge
-
I think it's lovely!
-
My humble opinion, I think it captures Venice , I’d be proud to display this in my home!!
-
I like it
-
I love it . I think Venice paintings are quite hard simply because there are SO many . I'd love more artists to concentrate on smaller scenes - the tiny alley like calli , the rough low doors . I miss Venice so much and as a wheelchair user probably won't get to return :(
-
The water is splendid.
-
I love the foreground, the rich tonal colors of the reflections and the buildings, but the perspective and light pull the eye elsewhere. Cut it down, add some rewarding detail in the distance, or add something in the foreground to pull the eye there. It’s too good to toss.
-
It's good, maybe a bit too clean...
-
Oh no, this one is nice. Love the colors
-
Set it aside and come back to it. :)
-
It's very geometric
-
BEAUTIFUL
-
Maybe you have been looking at it too long? It is beautiful!
-
Please feel free to abandon it on one of my walls. It's stunning. 🙏🏻
-
It's beautiful.
-
Awww. It's so peaceful.
-
I suggest you show Trump drowning in the canal.
-
Add a canal monster and archers upon the roof line protecting passers by.
-
I like it
-
I like it.
-
I love it
-
Another stroke and you'll ruin it. So, just walk away--WALK AWAY!
-
Artist's choice, but I love it. You do incredible things with water
-
I like it. Edward Hopper goes to Venice.
-
My friends mom went to Venice and literally…. Your painting looks just like what she saw. I think it’s beautiful and you should continue.
-
Love this, beautiful
-
I’m loving it !! Keep going!
-
It's looks like the lovely memory of a long past warm summer afternoon.
-
It's good. But you have to want it.
-
Sorry you’re not feeling it. i like it. sometimes stepping away and giving it time helps.
-
I think it's great 👏👏👏
-
I kind of like the raw undoneness of it, but that's just me.
-
I’m feeling it. It’s fantastic.
-
It’s beautiful! The lighting, the water—even if you stop it’s gorgeous as it is
-
It is pretty good but I think you could get a lot more out of it with some complimentary color in the shadows?
-
Magnificent - I really love your style of painting! 😍😍😍
-
I can't give any technical advice, but it looks good to me. I'd keep at it.
-
I like it. I think you could bring more impact by working on the mid-background. Bring a bit more shadow in. Also tint the sky more blue. Subtle-like.
Having been to Venice, giving it a bit more of the water flooded canyon vibes might be what you need to make it pop :)
-
It seems perfect. I wouldn't touch it.
-
Ya little dark for Venice , rainy but captured an essence
-
Add sharks.
-
Do not abandon! Fabulous
-
I kind of like the way the bottom of the picture feels like it’s melting away. I don’t know how to describe what I’m seeing.
It’s a beautiful scene being quietly melted away. It’s how life feels.
-
I like it
-
It's beautiful
-
I like it!
-
I think it’s pretty great!
-
Jazz up the sky and add something weird.
-
Lots of great stuff here - maybe just put it away for awhile and comeback with fresh eyes and ideas in a few weeks
-
I think that’s incredible. I do understand that feeling though, of not connecting with your own work. To those of us enjoying it from this side, it looks amazing and finished and ready to be hung. Beautiful!
-
I think it’s gorgeous! I’ve never been to Venice, but I’d love to go after seeing this painting.
-
I like it 😊
-
Oh, Venice is so pretty! I understand your feelings though, but it is a beautiful piece! I also absolutely love how reflective the water is!!
-
It did stop me from scrolling and to take a good look. It’s a really beautiful piece but I didn’t like the people on the bridge, they seem too modern looking. Maybe that’s what you were going for (photograph), and in reality there are modern people walking around a very ancient Venice. My 2cents.
-
I LOVE it.
-
I wouldn’t abandon it, but you could enhance it. Some standout item to give it focus and emotional impact maybe? A window box of flowers? A balcony? The blank walls do seem a bit “flat”.
-
I like it. I judge a lot of things I see as if they were jigsaw puzzles and l would definitely like to do this one because of the challenge it would present.
-
Love the water.
-
I like your painting! We did Venice on our honeymoon, many years ago. Fell in love with the city.
-
It's just my sort of thing.
-
It's nice
-
I’m pretty sure that’s me on the bridge
-
I absolutely love it
-
loving it ! put it away bring it out another day !!!
-
Love it
-
It’s very nice, but the background looks flat and unfinished. It’s definitely worth an investment of a little more time, but there’s nothing wrong with putting it aside for awhile and coming back to it later.
-
I'm always disappointed by a bland grey sky as a photographer. Yet if I had a hundredth of your skill as an artist, I would keep going. Reflections, tones, composition are great. The scene breathes life.
-
I like it.
-
As someoe who's been, I love it.
-
Oh, no - Don’t do that. That’s lovely.
-
Is this a set aside and come back to it later? I journal and create art, the wilder you let your writing run, the faster you get answers to not feeling it
-
That perspective is great. You need to add color for depth. Its too much 2D for those buildings but it is good.
-
Add some cats to it, cats make everything better.
-
Damn shame as is beautiful
-
I think what I love about the memory and this art is it's like a 'Hidden view". Very close-in and personal buildings, and distant people. Serene. No one is looking your way or even aware you're there. You can't hear them talking if they are even talking.
-
It reminds me of when I flew to London on a whim with no plans just after college and ended up in some weird hotel room with 4 other guys. I went into the WC and looked out the tiny window at dawn onto a narrow road or alley. It was so serene and magical and incredible.. this painting reminds me.
-
I like it! 🩵
-
I’m feeling it! I’m liking it a lot. Beautiful. I can almost hear the gentle lapping of water. As an artist myself, I’ve experienced that urge to abandon a picture, but I’ll disagree with you on this one👍
-
It’s all about the feeling.
-
Go with your gut! What’s the feeling? Go with that. It’s lovely to us but as one person mentioned, a spark is missing. You probably painted it at a time when you probably should have been doing something else so your heart’s not quite there. Come back to it. 🧡 When the passion is there.
-
I dig it!
-
The water is great , take off the top quarter and it lives..?
-
It's beautiful.
-
Maybe you need brighter colors. Maybe in a surreal type of way. But what do I know 🤷♀️🤷♀️😂😂
-
Yes I agree Glyn. Not feeling it. 🤮 Awful waste of a good canvas.🖌️
Did you scrawl it with crayons 🖍️prompt GPT 1 #AI with gutteral grunts or were you high on fumes? ⛽💊
I assume you are just Glyn Williams now as the Artist title is evidently unwarranted. ♉
#Artist not #Art 🚫
-
I think the top half is too sterile for Venice but everyone seems to be enjoying it.
-
Beautiful though!
-
Nope, that's excellent. Went to Venice in May on honeymoon and you've caught the sense of calm that pervades the quieter stretches of the city. I'd cheerfully hang that on the wall.
-
never been to Venice, but I really like it!
-
Fabulous 🤩
-
omg it's gorgeous, keep at it, you got this
-
I think it's wonderful. The light feels alive, the reflections shimmer, and the figures on the bridge give it a subtle narrative. It's a good composition.
-
It’s got wondered colors. Maybe some blue in shadows for interest and less verticality. It’s nice.
-
Beautiful
-
I love artists so much, bro paints an amazing vibrant scene that I could never hope to replace, and is like "nah"
-
There's a sadness about the place. Sadness has its value.
-
No no it’s gorgeous
-
Even though there are people present it gives me a sense of loneliness.
-
I like it. If you are not feeling it, what would happen if you made it “stormy” or “eerie?”
-
I love your painting. It really made me happy looking at it. Do you sell your paintings?
-
I like it 👍
-
The water is incredible. Why abandon something this wonderful?
-
I’ll take it off your hands.
-
I like it.
-
Oh stop! it's beautiful.
-
The near building, water and composition are fine, catching the essence of Venice. The distant view seems to lack warmth. A good painting to go back to. Don’t forget to post the finished view.
