It's always about the light. Islands have a special quality that other places just don't have. Samos is a Greek island in the eastern Aegean Sea, separated from Turkey by the mile-wide Mycale Strait. It was the birthplace of mathematician Pythagoras and philosopher Epicurus, and is known for producing sweet Muscat wine. In short, it is Ancient with a capital A. I am not a mathematican nor do I like sweet wine, but I sure like hanging out on islands. I almost painted this one completely over at one point. Instead I added a few extra boats, changed a few compositional features and it popped right in.

Wonderful artwork as always. I am immediately attracted to the blue and lovely houses. The sunlight making the houses on the right pop out. I want to be there right now for sure!

Hello again R/W Bob! In response to this new painting , first I have to jump right in without thought and say I have instantly fallen in love with the brilliant blues and oranges and exhilarating feeling of Samos which speaks to my heart in an instant. Then I wanted to find out more and was fascinated to read that you almost painted this beauty over but instead made a few tiny changes! Oh I'm SO glad not only that you DID that, but that you shared your process! I so often remove my paintings from here ( get fed up with them) and then add them again with a few more details after closely observing them in a new way. It's so often those surprising tiny details that sink or swim a work! Delightfully those details often only take a few minutes to change! I'm so entranced by this new and beautiful painting of yours. The boats, the colors, the light. All awesome! L/F

I very much appreciate your kind words and your insight on your artwork development. I remember Leonardo's comment that no artwork is ever complete, just abandoned. Sometimes that extra time and effort pays off for each of us. Thank you for your visit Jane!
