This recently published webpage: Greece and painting and me reminded me of how much I love Greece.
It is a while since I was there - the pandemic happened with all the life-upturning it set in process. And then airlines in a mess, and global warming, made me think twice about extra travel beyond the beloved granddaughters in New Zealand.
I can tell by the way I’m bingeing on The Durrells in order to catch a glimpse of Corfu that it may be time to return. These paintings made a few years back in the Mani and now hanging in my hall are shouting more loudly each time I pass…
It was a tempestuous time in Greece that summer, tempers were short and the sun was hot. In the midst of the heat, we celebrated the full moon. There’s a restaurant in the little village of Agios Nikolaos where people gather to watch the full moon rise above the mountains. Stunning.
The paintings are available through the Shop.
