Two of my newest paintings, which you can view by clicking on the link, A Classic amidst the Classics and Morning Glory Construction are based on things I saw on last summer's cruise of the Greek Islands. Both were on an early morning walk through the old city of Rhodes. The first one was I turned a corner to view some old ruins, there was this shiny Jaguar parked in the street. It was so out of place yet so perfect that I immediately knew this was going to be a painting. The second was a construction site on one of the side streets that appeared almost abandoned except for the promise of the beautiful morning glories.
I gathered a lot of material on that trip and will describe more as I paint them.
