Houses in Venice 1981

Maria Bozoky created this watercolor painting of Houses in Venice. Here, it’s all about the mood. See how those blues and reds mix, so loose and free? I can almost feel her standing there, the light shifting, trying to capture Venice in a glance. I bet she was chasing something fleeting. I’m thinking of other painters like Bonnard, who also got swept up in the light. You know, the way she lets the paint drip and fade. It’s like she’s saying, "I can’t really hold onto this." Maybe that’s Venice itself – always slipping away, like a dream you can’t quite remember. These marks, they're not just lines, they’re a kind of feeling. You get the sense she’s not trying to nail down every detail, but to catch a vibe, a sensation. That's the real stuff, isn't it? We're all just trying to catch something real.
