This is for Martha, Aleko and Maria's daughter. I like what happened in this painting... the forms, colors and luminosity of the angels. The composition works nicely as well and I am pleased with the balance of lights and darks. Overall a joy to paint.

This painting is more of an expression of who I am right now than any other painting I have done so far. I'm not sure what it is about this one that makes my spirit sing every time I look at it...
The colors... there is Greece here... there is Spring... there is a sunrise or sunset depending on my mood.. there is motherhood... there is the child.... there is femininity and there is depth and continuity.
I hope you enjoy this one too....

This one was fun! I painted it out on the Aegean Balcony while chatting with some of our renters. Yanni, who has a wonderful bookstore in Perea, Thessaloniki, wanted to see a white stripe on the boat. I gladly indulged and liked the outcome too. I am not used to painting with people around watching me, but I found I had no trouble at all. We had such a wonderful group of people here and I loved the diverse conversations that took place... thanks to all.

The waves were so much fun to paint.... working only with a painting knife is challenging but on the other hand, rather than worrying about endless detail, the knife frees the hand and captures the energy of what's being painted....

I usually paint in bright colors. Today I am in a more subtle mood and decided to limit my palette to cobalt blue, raw umber, white and scarlet lake. No brushes either... palette knife and only one at that. I love what happened and how the mood I was looking for just happened. No struggles with this one which tells me it was the right move on my part.... that I needed to move in this direction at this point in my life.
Hope you enjoy this one as much as I do!

This painting is now in Beth's loving home in New York. Thank you!!!
This painting is inspired by a dirt road right at the bottom of our hill. I took a mind-photo one spring morning as my dreamlets and I were walking to the beach. The wild flowers were everywhere and the colors vivid as Spring herself. The olive trees are over 100 years old yet they are only in the Spring of their lives. I finished this painting recently. Spring isn't officially over but it is already summer here.
Life moves in and out of her cycles... we must never forget to live with wonder as we too flow in and out of those cycles.
