Description
Exploring the "caldera" rim of Santorini island is fun and most of it can be seen with only the rubber beneath your feet by traversing the cliffs narrow walkways and paths. The rim sits above the Aegean Sea, over 300 feet below. The centuries old volcano erupted leaving the rim. I hope viewers and collectors see the serenity Santorini allows me to paint and the unique way of life these structures hold. This view is just to the right of famous "windmill" near Oia at the end of the Island. I liked this view because it holds many of the things I like to paint, like patios, gates, umbrellas and of course, Geraniums.
I am a “realist” painter, not a photo-realistic painter. I regard myself as a self-imposed “Representational Realist.” “I only represent, reality, God makes everything, perfectly real.” “Painting for me is much like writing is to an author, once the Paint is put to the Canvas many more than one, can enjoy viewing the Original and finding a Print.”

If you are choosing paper, for wall art and it is to be framed under glass I recommend what I print on, Watercolor Paper. I also print on Canvas, with the same, clear, results. The other surfaces, like Metal and Acrylic make great choices for areas with high moisture like kitchens and baths too. Hanging any Art in direct sunlight is not recommended.
