The Quiet Colorist!

Greece landscapes are colour play!  I love playing with colour and images from a recent trip to Greece and Rome. 

The art term Colourist is someone who is more concerned with colour-play, someone who exaggerates a colour rather than depicting the colour that is really there.  I like doing that. 

This little boat, sandwiched between two lovely tall sailboats in a marina in Greece, caught my interest.   The boat was plain, the water blue and inviting, but when I painted the image, I exaggerated the colour to “pop” the fishing boat.  It is one of my favourites!
