This is a scene of Venice I have recreated in many paintings throughout my career as an artist but each take on it involves a different narrative. The figures in red reflect a deliberate homage to Nicholas Roegs film 'Don't Look Now'. Although the idea of rendering them in this colour had nothing to do with the films plotline or the disasterous outcome of the story, the movie and Roegs use of the colour red has helped inspire me to sometimes use colour and tone in detailing people and certain parts of a landscape to suggest an inexplicable presence or to leave clues towards something ominous lurking. Like in the film, the use of red is to do with the power of suggestion.
