Carnevale in Venice

Why don't we celebrate Carnevale like they do in Venice?  Three weeks of fantasy!  Three weeks of play acting!  Three weeks of bliss!  I am enchanted by the masks and costumes that people don, along with personas, that are out of the ordinary.  Some of these are scenes I actually witnessed!

These painting are inspired by a love of Venice, the Commedia Dell'Arte, the diaries of Casanova and travel to Venice. 

We all wear masks in our everyday lives, too, don't we?????????
