Watercolours
I came into watercolours quite late in life - but having found them, I really enjoy them. I've always looked at the very big guns - Durer, Turner, Cotman, Girtin and the great illustrators of the late 19th and then 20th centuries. So, with those guys breathing down my neck I've never tried to be too experimental. The way I see it, the traditional possibilities are varied and interesting enough. All pieces here are painted on Arches or Watman paper.
Kafenio, Heraklio
Just a scene of old guys having their daily dose at the local . Talking politics, soccer, playing backgammon, and smoking. Lots of smoking.

La Basse-Ville, Fribourg.
A view of the striking, dramatic, and very Swiss Basse-Ville.

The Valitze Tzami, Heraklio
A building that has survived from the Turkish era. It was a source of clean, cool water for the locals. Now it's a café.
