Painting Greece

My excitement overfloweth…. it’s exhibition time! And soon too! November 3rd already! My my…. much to do… much to do….

When I have the full details I’ll post them for you. In the meantime, my daily paintings are going on the side as I work on some larger ones for the exhibit. My visits may or may not be sporadic on this blog. I may very well crank out daily paintings along with some paintings for the exhibition one month away. I won’t make any promises though… my full focus and attention is going there.

Off to prepare the panels!!!

Have a beautiful day.

Be well….

A vibrant painting with lots of movement and energy. I love her expression as the girl sits on her swing… it’s as if she holds the secret to life and living…. and she probably does.

Have a beautiful day!

A beautiful, “Arhontiko” Greek village home with lush bougainvillea in bloom. Ochre is one of the colors of choice for the outside of a home. I love the white around the window and around the corner of the home and the little blue wooden shutters add so much character.

Sheep and a goat peacefully grazing in the golden fields at the end of summer. It is a common enough sight and one that I would personally miss if I lived anywhere else. More times than I care to remember, we had to slam on the brakes while driving on a country road because the sheep and goats were crossing. Once we realized we weren’t going to hit one of them I would relax to the sounds of bells and baa’s mixed with a stark earthy smell.

This painting was done from a photo reference.

Three colorful fishing boats resting in the harbor. It is always a scene that bring tranquility to mind. Fishing is incredibly difficult work. When I see the boats in the harbor, peacefully swaying to the slow undulations of the sea, I know that their captains are also resting, rejuvenating themselves for another day of hard work.

Be well….
