A Painting A Week No 87


















For Sale - 29th June 2011
Blue Chairs, Koroni
Size: 21 x 15cm
Price A$90
(Postage and handling included)

As mentioned in my email, these blue chairs are absolutely everywhere in this area, and all over Greece. They sit outside cafes and tavernas in all manner of disarray and are just crying out to be photographed. I took this photo sometime in the spring, but when I walked by recently I was rather flabbergasted to see the peeling white wall had been repainted a resplendid bright orange. Oh well, one can't stop progress, and the blue chairs go rather well with the orange anyway!

A Painting A Week No 86


















For Sale - 1st June 2011
Spring Poppy Fields, France
Size: 21 x 15cm
Price A$90
(Postage and handling included)

Ahhh, the sight of the fields in France brimming with brilliant red poppies in the springtime. There's nothing quite like it, and as you may have noticed, I am rather addicted to painting them.  Greece also has fields of wild poppies, but somehow I've never quite managed to find the 'right' backdrop here! The Greek poppies too, tend to be a much deeper red than the French ones.
