Just got back from a wonderful vacation in Greece. While I was there I bought a little watercolour set because I really wanted to relax and paint in the outdoors. I thought I would share it on the website.Hope you like them!

This one is done after a beautiful hike in Crete called Samaria Gorge. A walk between great walls of rock ending in a beach. I did this on a little bar by the beach , looking at one of the pictures on my digital camera.

This one is done on a beach of the volcanic island of Santorini. I was fascitated with the shape of the solidified lava on the rocks. They were almost like otherworldly organic shapes that I found very interesting.
