Description
Every day, before lunch, we arrived early as we were told “Petros”, a very large white Pelican, dined just outside the kitchen. Petros, there he was, walking slowly down from the hill with windmills toward the restaurants on the bay, some call “Little Italy” in Mykonos, Greece. It was the bay on the seaside, they all said he would come. He didn’t fly, “we didn’t know why”, but he had landed there some time ago, injured and all the towns’ people brought him back to health. He had the wonderful name of “Peter” in English. He was revered by everyone we talked to. I am average height and as I sat in my chair, Petros walked by me, and his all-white body towered above mine. He is in my painting of “Petros in Mykonos” among the chairs.
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 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. Hanging any Art in direct sunlight is not recommended.
We issue signed Certificates of Authenticity, on all wall-art, here, so you will have evidence you bought a print authorized by the Artist. Contact us here on “BAG” after your purchase arrives.
