"Dusk Delight"


"Dusk Delight"  watercolour 12 x 9 inches.
Available from my fine art website.


As the sun slowly sank on another warm day, the harbour glowed with a special warm light. I don't know what makes it so special, maybe it is dust from the Sahara, the colour of the rocks , the clarity of the sea reflecting rays, who knows, maybe someone can educate me?

Have a great day!

"Painting Hydra" a watercolour journey funded on Kickstarter


"High Noon, High Tide, Hydra Harbour"
Watercolour 9 x 5 inches.

This was one of the first watercolour location sketches that I painted upon my arrival on Hydra ( pronounced  EE-TH-RA ) a beautiful island just over an hour's sail away from Athens, Greece.

With the successful funding of the " Painting Hydra " project on Kickstarter , I have just spent six days painting on this idyllic island , no cars, no bikes, just boats clinking and water lapping against the rocks , blue skies and gorgeous Greek light.

                                                   
                                                   Painting in the harbour on Hydra.

Over the next few weeks , I'll post some of the photos and paintings up from the trip.

Now that Autumn has firmly established itself on our shores. I will also be updating my Fine Art website with all of my available paintings.

Here's today's watercolour.

"Five days to create art that captures the essence of a special island in the Aegean Sea.Your chance to own original art at great prices."

If it does, why not pop over to my Kickstarter page and have a look at my latest plain air painting project. It's a great opportunity to own some of my art at a reasonable price and get involved with the inspiration and creative process behind the paintings.
