Windmills in Oia Santorini 10 x 12
I stood on a people packed promontory to paint this picture and it is pretty much considered one of the best views to be had in Oia, so much so that there is a queue to view it at sunset. The detail is complex and when mapping it out it is easy to keep losing…
Church with Pink Belltower Oia Santorini 10 x 14

The Petroleum Plant Elefsima Athens
The Petroleum Plant Elefsima Athens 12″ x 10″ unframed size Sounding a little bit like a medical condition, Elefsina is an industrial suburb of Athens and I should not think it is high on anyones holiday itinerary.
