The painting of it started outdoors, right in the courtyard of the church. It was a new experience, to be out in the town while people were passing by and checking me painting. Although this church is situated in the middle of the Aegina town, it is very peaceful and serene there.

Until next time! 

All the best,
Zac

What a lovely time on the island - spring. So many blooming trees and flowers. This year it was raining a lot, so there were flowers growing that did not even come out last year. 

There are a lot of almond trees that bloom beautifully along the road we take to the main town. We had to stop and take some photos and videos of them. 

In our garden, there is a pear tree behind the pool that blooms as beautifully as the almond trees. I wanted to capture this bloom and the handcart behind the pear tree. 

Have a great month!

All the best,
Zac

Here is a video of the painting process:

Having a dog like Toby has brought so much joy to life. One of my favorite parts of the day is going on early morning walks in the olive grove. He loves to run up and down the rows of trees.

I started this painting outside but wasn't able to get that far before the light changed. I was observing the way bright sunlight landed on Toby's fur. Also, trying to capture the effect of seeing shade between warm sunlight.

Bring some of the country life in Aegina, Greece to your space with prints and more

All the best,

Zac
