Morning View

Morning View
24" x 24" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas
Contemporary Landscape/Palette Knife Painting
Every morning in Naxos we woke up to this spectacular view.  The road in front of the villa was winding along the shoreline, and the winds were usually blowing full force.  In the distance you can see that beautiful little chapel perched up on an island.  With Easter approaching, I remember one of the locals telling me that Easter service is the only time this chapel is open.  I wanted to nail down the colors of Naxos, and the beautiful Aegean Sea. The use of the palette knife is perfect for this rocky terrain...lots of texture on this canvas.  Thanks for looking at my blog...Kay
