Contemporary Landscape/Seascape

Perched up on an rocky island is a little white chapel in the Aegean Sea.  Looking at this view every morning in Greece was fabulous.  The locals told us that Easter was the only time the chapel is used, as you have to take a small boat from Naxos to get there, then take the steps that lead up to the chapel.  The colors in the sea were amazing.  I used a palette knife, wide brushes and rubber tools used for ceramics to apply the oils.  Thanks for looking at my art...Kay

Sunrise on Naxos was beautiful...and I never got tired of this view in the mornings.  The water was so blue, and the rocky shorelines and islands in the distance just took your breathe away.  I am letting this one sit on the easel for a couple of days, and maybe add a couple of highlights,  but for the most part, it is finished.  Thanks for looking at my blog...Kay

This ceramic pot was beautiful.  It was spotted by Deb on our recent trip to Greece, sitting in a window sill with lots of warm light hitting the pot and the leaves.  Deb gets the credit spotting it, and taking a photo of it.  I couldn't wait to paint it once I got back into the studio.  Here's my version of the ceramic pot, thanks to Deb for finding it, and taking the pic.  Thanks for looking...have an artful day!  Kay

This is my first piece that I painted when we returned from our fabulous trip to Greece.  John and I were walking along the beach on Naxos, and came across this old boat that was beached.  I immediately took a pic, and wanted to paint it.  The boat was cool--- it was colorful, weathered, and had lots of character.  I am thrilled that Lee Small found the perfect forever home for this painting!  Thank you, Lee!  Thanks for looking, KMW

Island Chapel

Island Chapel

Contemporary Palette Knife Painting

12" x 12" Oil on Museum Quality Panel

Photo reference credit:  Jim Devers

The chapels in the Cyclades were amazing...and this one was perched on top of rocks on an island directly across from the island of Naxos where our villa was located.  I was told that you boat over to the island, walk up the steps to the chapel from the shoreline.  Special services are held on Greek Easter on this island. Every morning I would wake up to this view---it was amazing.  Thanks to Jim for taking the early morning photo!  Getting the blues right in the sky and water is what I focused on, and then I used a palette knife to put the rugged mountains and rocks.  This painting is all framed up and ready for a new home!    Contact Kay for more info.  KMW

Mikri Vigla

Mikri Vigla - Naxos

12" x 17" Oil on Canvas on Gatorboard/Framed

Contemporary Seascape/Greek Islands

While exploring the beaches on the island of Naxos, our group found a secluded beach that was stunning.  The water was ultramarine blue, then it turned turqoise --- the sand was warm and felt so good between our toes.  We fell in love with this beach, and returned to it several times, including one of the windiest days...we were protected in the cove from the strong gales.  I wanted to capture the color and beauty of this beach on canvas.  This painting has a beautiful dark mahogany frame with gold liner to finish it off!  Thanks for looking at my blog.  Kay

It was a fabulous view at anytime of the day, but especially in the morning when the sunlight was hitting the rocks and chapel.  I never got tired of looking at this chapel on the island and the steps leading up to it.  The colors of Naxos were amazing.  This painting is drying in the studio.  Thanks for looking at my blog.  Kay

Crazy Mermaids

Crazy Mermaids

Pencil, Ink and Watercolor on Watercolor Paper/Journal

I got carried away and a little obsessed with mermaids while in Greece.  I started with a pencil drawing, then worked in ink and then painted with watercolors.  I wanted this to be loose, colorful and whimsical.  I had so much fun with this, and because I did not travel with my oils, I was forced to explore the world of pen, ink and watercolors.  Thanks for looking at my blog...Kay
