"From The Donkey Path" watercolour painting in the Aegean.

This was the view from the path that the donkeys used to take supplies up to the old monastery ontop of the island. Halfway up in the midday heat was enough for me. On a quiet island, this place was absolutely still, except for the cicadas clicking away in the dry brush.

"From The Donkey Path" watercolour 12 x 9 inches framed £145 Available here.

Have a great day!

Boats bobbing in the warm Mediterranean Sun.

With no cars or even automated transport allowed on the island of Hydra, your options are either donkeys or boats. Water taxis take you around the island and fishing boats bring in their salty wares, whilst the gin palaces bring in their wealthy matelots to inhabit the harbour side tavernas, kafeneions, shops and galleries.

The boats caught my eye. They range from traditional wooden fishing boats, larger caiques upto modern fibreglass cruising yachts and the larger luxury boats.

Every inch of harbour is packed with boats oozing character and screaming out to be painted.

These were just a few that I painted.
