A Painting A Week No 130 - Reflections of Alonissos

For Sale - 1st October 2013 
Reflections of Alonissos
Size: 21 x 15cm
(Postage and handling included)

When I was staying in the port of Patitiri on the lovely Greek Island of Alonissis in July, beneath my hotel window was a long line of fishing boats. They would be 'missing' when I woke in the mornings, and then gradually returned later in the day. I wandered past them most days in the hope of some good reflections and found that after 7pm they were at their best! Quite a few of the boats were red, and their reflections against the brilliant blue and turquoise water was definitely a painting in the making.

A Painting A Week No 126 - Fishing Boat, Koroni

For Sale - 25th June 2013 
Fishing Boat, Koroni Harbour
Size: 21 x 15cm
(Postage and handling included)

Not a very exciting title for a painting, but I seem to have Greek fishing boats everywhere I look right now, as well as in Koroni harbour and the bay below us. I've been painting them, sketching them, and sticking them onto collages. Each little waterside village around here has its unique selection of boats, and yes, most of them really do go out fishing each day, or night, and keep all the local restaurants full of seafood. I just love the shape of them, all the accoutrement hanging off them, not to forget all the little 'sticky uppy bits' (which I've recently told my students not to ignore!)

Summer has arrived with a vengance now - too hot for sitting on the edge of harbours sketching, but perfect for relaxing in any one of Koroni's many cafes with an ice cold frappe, or an ouzo in your hand!
