Serenity
Softly, Softly
September 2018
This mixed media painting was originally inspired by the colours of Greece, but I decided for a change I would try for more subtle shades than my usual bright blues.

Skopelos Highlights
I painted this little painting in Skiathos, after spending time on Skopelos. So many little while buildings, and so many laneways to explore. This view of Skopelos is looking across from the ferry terminal!

Snapshot of Koroni
June 2018
This painting is portraying, in simple form, the small Greek town in the Peloponnese, where I currently spend a good deal of each year. Koroni, like a lot of small coastal towns in Greece, has a lovely buzzing harbour, with whitewashed buildings spilling down from the surrounding hills.
The painting is in acrylic, and in a new technique for me, as I explore different ways of capturing more abstract landscapes.

Reflections of Europe, Manly, Sydney – March 2018
Back from Fishing, Skopelos
Another small painting done whilst staying in Skiathos in July. The photo reference was taken in the neighbouring island of Skopelos. It’s so good to see these traditional fishing boats still have a place in a harbour full of yachts.

Summer Grasses, Greece
When I’m driving in summer between the local villages here in the Peloponnese, I’m always fascinated by the shades of the long dried grasses along the edge of the roads.
This is a mixed media painting, using gesso and other techniques to add to the texture and depth.

Highlights on Skiathos
This little painting was done whilst staying in in Skiathos in July. Its such a beautiful island, and there’s nothing more spectacular than arriving in the port and seeing the lovely town slowly crawling up the hill, the borzti and the nearby bays with their white buildings and church towers.
Art Weekly 177 – Light on Skiathos
2nd August 2017
Summer is here in the Northern Hemisphere, and I recently spent a wonderful few days on the lovely island of Skiathos, painting up a storm with my good friend Yvonne, of Painting Skiathos (www.paintingskiathos.wordpress.com.) This little painting was one of the results.
We’re back in Koroni now, and although its not very touristy here, we still get our share of summer visitors, so its plenty of beach and relaxation time for us throughout August. Now that I’ve managed to re-organise ‘my studio’ into the corner of our dining room, there should hopefully be some new paintings coming along, and maybe even a long overdue Newsletter.
