Day one hundred and ninety-seven: On the way to Rittenhouse Square from my apartment is a little art gallery, selling what appears to be late 19th and early 20th-century paintings. There’s one in the window of a little impressionist view of a Venetian canal. I don’t know who the artist might be, but I like the picture because it reminds me of La Serenissima: the most serene republic. The pencil sketch I knocked out this evening is my own little memory of the Adriatic city, and very loosely based on a view of the Rialto market area (to the left) on the Grand Canal.
