Amorgos, Greece








Amorgos is one of the many Greek islands in the Aegean Sea. When I was in Greece painting, it was all about watercolor. It lends itself to watercolors which can be done on location making it unnecessary to bring home so many photos. It would be easy to translate this to oils, but it may not have the freshness of a watercolor. It's another wonderful place for an artist and I may go back and work harder since I wouldn't have to be a tourist the next time.
This watercolor image is "14 x 20" but has a triple mat, blue liners and large off white mat with a silver frame which as another 6 inches to each side.  It was a breathtaking scene on a pristine island.
