Greece


CLIFFS, ALONNISOS

Afternoon sun on the pines, Patitiri harbour




STENI VALA, ALONNISOS


Olives and boat. The painting of olive trees has always been the ultimate challenge to us as watercolour artists. In this latest attempt we think John's really cracked it. Mixing the colours to capture the greeny grey effect of olive trees usually stumps us watercolour amateurs!

BOAT, ALONNISOS

A fishing boat named "Dyo Filoi" ("Two Friends") at Kalamakia, Alonnisos


BOAT, VATHI, SIFNOS


A beautiful traditionally-built boat with a lateen-sail rig.

RIVER ACHAERON, EPIRUS

Wading along the river - one of the contenders for the River Styx.

POULATI CHURCH, SIFNOS
After a very long hard walk finding this beautiful church is like finding a jewel in the landscape.

Afternoon siesta


The slow way of life was extremely pleasant and gave good opportunities for observing the feline species!

Shady courtyard


We loved this shady courtyard at the house we rented in Alonnissos.
