The gorgeous recent weather has reminded me of fabulous visits to Santorini, one of the most beautiful and unique places on earth. I remember the sublime way the atmosphere in the air merges with the sea, bouncing wonderful colours between both land, sea and sky. Dusk and night time are particularly stunning and as the sun sets golden electric lights appear like fireflies.
Thumbing through old photos and looking through this book ignited a spark for a new series of paintings. Decided it would be great to record entire process from start to completion here in this newsletter. Will be sending updates on progress monthly here in this newsletter.
Taking inspiration for colour palettes and compositions from both my own holiday snaps and ideas from this book I began with some colour swatches and trial paintings on small canvas boards in oil.
