Walking In Mykonos--6x6 Gallery

 

I found out about a great gallery from one of my illustrator friends. Charmingwall is located in the village and is exhibiting the 6x6 gallery starting this month. You have the chance to pick up a 6"x6" canvas, paint whatever you like, and they will display it for a month...and up to 3 months on their website.

I thought this was a good way to get my feet wet and start painting again...as you can see I haven't been posting very much. This show will be going on every month for the year, and I plan to enter every month. Above is a rough scan of the painting I will be entering, along with its sketch. Charmingwall will also give me a high quality digital file of my painting which I will post once I get it...somehow this scan isn't picking up all of the textures that I put in :(

Over the summer I went to Greece with friends of mine, and spent part of the trip in Mykonos for 5 days. I loved walking around the town on the small winding streets, the bright blue sky, and all of the beautiful white buildings. What I loved the most was all of the wonderful contrasting colors in the bright sunshine, and the gorgeous flowers and twisting trees that you would see when you turned every corner.
