Description
Watercolor, 2016. Tilos, Greece.This is my first sight of the village Livadia on Tilos. The boat had just came around the peninsula east of the village and into Livadia Bay. This was the sight that met us. The mountains seemed so high and monumental. Like if they were hugging and guarding this little place with their tall dark, calming, shadows. Their shelter made the wind, which we had experienced out on the open water, to disappear. I got a feeling of being safe. It was so beautiful. This was gonna be my home for the coming three weeks and I was so excited when I finally walked ashore. The night was so warm, dark and quiet. It was the beginning of an adventure.
I hope you'll like it!

Thank you! This painting means a lot to me. It's from a travel I made in September last year to the little Greek island of Tilos. I spent three weeks there just painting and walking and it was a beautiful place!! I'm glad you like it!

Top marks! Did you use masking fluid to keep the whites of the lights? I've been experimenting with wax and also blue-tac...

Hi Brett! Yes, I used some masking fluid for some of the lights and reflections. I've never been experimenting with wax, but maybe that's something I should look into! Thanks a lot and have a nice week!!

Wow! This is an amazing watercolour piece. The way you've depicted the myriad hustle of lights as they dance upon the water's waves, is really beautiful.

Awww, thanks a lot for your kind words and for telling me!! The challenge with this piece was the water and the reflections. I wanted them to try to make them bright and sharp. Take care and have a wonderful Christmas!

Hi Millzie! Actually this sight appeared when I arrived to the island and then it didn't hurt at all. I just felt that I was arriving to the right place. Such a calm and beautiful place. But now, when this trip has become a memory, it hurts a bit to look back, not knowing when and if I will ever return there... That's a strange thing about good experiences I guess. When they turn into memories, nostalgia seems to make them a bit bittersweet. Well, I'm really glad I went there! I wish you a wonderful Christmas, buddy!!!
