Description

Watercolor, September 13, 2016, Tilos, Greece.
It's so difficult to paint mountains and that was one of the challenges I encountered on Tilos. Since Livadia is surrounded by mountains, it was simply impossible to avoid them. The difficulty is to chase the light and shadows! While I painted, the light over the mountains constantly changed and even though you don't notice how the shadows become longer each minute, it becomes painfully apparent when you try to fix them on paper!;) (Wink)  Anyway, I made this painting from my terrace. It depicts part of the bay of Livadia, the new boats visiting for the evening, the far end of the village and the mountains beyond. During afternoons when the water is calm in the bay, the reflections of the mountains creates a beautiful yellow/red shimmer in the water. Hopefully, I managed to capture a little bit of this feeling in the painting. I hope you like it!
