Wow, Brian, I checked out this masterpiece thanks to the link you provided. The buildings behind the man in the gondola have a "wet" look to them. So does the man in the gondola. What a beautiful piece! Great poem. You are such an inspiration and James needs to read this! I'll make sure he's aware his poem inspired yours. Love, Carolyn
