This week (Tuesday) marked the end of Carnival 2010 in Venice. I love carnival and have done numerous drawings, paintings, silk designs, etc on this theme. Some of these works were exhibited at the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization; most appropriately, since the history of Carnival goes back to ancient agricultural traditions. This illustration depicts the arrival of the masqueraders in their gondolas for the festivities. A good friend of mine just told me he’s going to Venice – hmmmm, perhaps another trip is in order? ; ) Veronica
