A thing from memory, the three guys waiting for the ferry boat. This is way back when M/S Eftychia came to Hydra island, now only hovercrafts and speedboats.

"Got the tickets, waiting for the ferry".

Watercolor, collage, ink
Size 38 x 28cm (15 x 11").

Just finished reading "Anna Karenina" by Leo Tolstoy, what a wonderful book! What a great storyteller! Why didn't I read this long ago? Big fan of Leo Tolstoy now, here below my watercolor portrait. 

  

Here's one more batch of Miles Davis album covers.
They are watercolors, fairly small in size 12x12cm (5x5"). 

 

In January 2020 Federico Fellini would have turned 100. He's one of my favorite film directors.
So many wonderful movies and "Amarcord" is still my favorite. I made a portrait collage of him and a mailart stampsheet. 

 

Back home again after a great week in the warm Greek sun.

Here's an old sketch of the view from our house on Hydra, overlooking the valley. I can see a friend's house and his gigantic swimming trunks drying on the clothes line in the sun. :-)

For fun I painted some Miles Davis album covers. There are many to choose from, here twelve of them to start with. The watercolor paintings are somewhat close to the originals...
