Hellas. The word that the Greek people use to describe themselves.
This, my new self published book, features paintings that capture the
essence of the Greek islands, the "Islands of Hellas"
With visits to islands such as Kefalonia , Zakynthos,Kos, Paxos
Corfu , Crete and of course Rhodes, amongst others, the paintings evoke
many characteristics of the Greek landscape as it has influenced me .
The exaggerated bright colours reflect the colour of the sea and flora of
both the coast and country, from the palms, cacti and agave, the
bouganvillae, pines and blue - grey mountains all emphasised by the
distinct, clear, bright light.
