The Silent Venetian - A Mascarone

This is an original watercolor from my own reference photo of a Venetian mascarone ( a carved, stone head on the keystone of an archway). This noble Venetian   watching the entrance of this palazzo for about five hundred years!  It is part of my Memories of Venice series and is a great companion piece to my other mascarone painting, The Gate Keeper. After painting these stone faces, I somehow feel very close to them. They seem to watch over me:-)
