Terraced Landscape (Sifnos, Greece)

Terraced for planting, for natural fall-out of rain on rock; it undulates in the heat of the day.

Acrylic on paper (15" x 22.5")

I think of Sifnos, that island in the sun -- is there anything else but sunshine on this brilliantly lit, brilliantly coloured island.

Winged Victory

Nike -- poor victory,  hijacked for commerce!

Collage with ink (6" x 4")

 A small derivative in honour of the wonders of ancient Greece.

South Shore Triptych

Composed and presented in three parts, it becomes one. Eyes fill in the gaps, effortlessly. Originating with the Greeks, of course, a triptychos displays three folds, three panels, three sheets of an essential unity of thought in an image.

 

The Shore -- south not north.

Canaries - in Greece

Heard all over those Cycladic islands, they are in cages hung out to air on high walls like so much laundry. And like so much laundry they are returned to the house when the sun sets.

Sweetly singing little yellow fluff balls -- joyous creatures thrilling to the day --

a day of streaming light, blue sky, blue sea, blue frames on doors and windows.
