"Sunset at Little Venice - Mykonos"

2023

Oil on 60x80cm Canvas

The painting was produced during the Spring of 2023 and depicts the iconic Little Venice of Mykonos island that lies within the Aegean Sea in Greece.

When I started thinking about this picture, I wanted to capture this scene during a sunset and depict the windy weather for which the Aegean Sea is known for at the same time.

Whilst producing the draft on the canvas, I instinctively drew a series of curved lines to represent the sky and sea, which formed the basis for the painting.

Having completed the draft, I began adding the oil paint using a series of brush stroke,s aiming to create a textured effect using a plethora of complementary colours.
