I'm exhibiting once again this year in the Heart of the Tribe Gallery Winter Open Exhibition. Preview and drinks reception this Saturday the 11th. of November. Hope to see some familiar faces and meet new ones.
Stretching over 19 kilometres in the West of the island of Crete, the White Mountains or "Lefka Ori" are a dominant feature of the landscape towering over the numerous orange and olive groves. As a reference for a future painting I've done a series of preliminary sketches to capture this stunning scenery.

A welcome return to Pefkos on the Greek island of Rhodes, meeting up with some old friends and meeting new ones. My customary small sketchbook provided a diary both visual and written along with some photographs and some larger watercolours.
