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

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 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 drying in the studio...Thanks for looking at my blog.   Contact Kay for more info.  KMW
