A good Friday for painting
Posted: April 18, 2025 Filed under: Uncategorized | Tags: boats, Chania, Crete, Greece, harbour scene, watercolours 8 CommentsEach day it has been getting a little warmer in Crete, which means that the snow on the White Mountains will soon be gone. I wanted to have those distant peaks in at least one of my paintings so today I walked out to the Old Sea Wall and painted in the shade of the St. Nicholas bastion. From that perfect spot, I had a view of the harbor and the constant stream of pedestrians enjoying the holiday here in Greece. I could just as easily have painted the bastion itself, from a spot on the promenade across the way, but that will be for another day. There’s no shortage of things to paint here. Painted this one on a pad of Arches CP paper, 16” x12”.
I sure enjoy getting these Shari.Stay safe and well. Happy Easter!
Thank you so much my friend. You have a happy Easter with your big gang too!!
Love this painting. Makes me feel as if I were there! I love how you depict people and crowds as well as the water which glitters!
I love the different blues you used in this scene. Looks like cerulean and ultramarine in some spots.
I’m heading to Crete in the fall and your preview of the best sketching spots is much appreciated. Your harbor views are exquisite.
Happy Good Friday to you!
Beautiful work!!!!
