Santorini

Santorini is one of the Greek Islands. It is one of the most desirable tourist destinations in the world. My daughter and her husband went there with their three little kids and stayed in a beautiful stucco hotel on the side of a hill looking out on the Mediterranean. They thought it was the most wonderful place they’d ever been.

I tried to paint it, as you can see. I had to divide the canvas into ninety-six squares and paint a square at a time to get all the detail in. You can see the stairways and paths throughout the scene.

You know that I think this is totally amazing! I have a greater appreciation of this since watching the video tape of the paintings progression, a square at a time.

I wish everyone could see the video of you painting this. It is incredible how the little squares become one magnificent painting in the end!
