EDM Challenge #29 - Something architectural
I visited this church on the island of Andros, Greece in 1994. I distinctly remember walking down this path and looking back to see this white church against a perfectly blue sky and thinking that it looked so unreal beautiful, like a watercolor. The architectural features in shadows are what tempted me to paint this from my photos after 13 years.
Post-post post (heh): PLEASE feel free to give me critical feedback. I wasn't going to post this for various reasons ... but figured I learn by creating and maybe the next one won't be so muddied and I won't try so hard to force transparent watercolors to do what they really don't want to do. Really, I value critiques immensely. :)

Gorgeous! It's like a beautiful mirage. I can see why it still inspires you.
Phenomenal dimensions and perspective!!
Ahh, I LOVE this! You make it so easy to imagine looking back at that path and seeing the beautiful Greek church. =)
oooo Joan this looks so lovely ... you are truly inspiring.
Never be afraid of the 'darks', Joan. Look at what John Singer Sargent does with them. I think they make the most interesting watercolours.
