Wednesday Color Inspiration- Burano

June 25, 2014 in inspiration, Wednesday Inspiration

One of our little side trips while we were in Venice was to take a boat over to the island of Burano. Burano is known for a few things: handmade lace, laundry hanging out of their windows, and most notably, these brightly colored buildings! I LOVED it there! (it was one of my favorite things about Italy.)

Burano Italy

Wouldn't this make a fun painting? I have ideas...  :D
