Sailing in Lefkada Painting Available

I just finished a new Sailing in Lefkada painting!

Summery Lefkada island, Fresh off the easel. This one of a kind painting is now available along with prints of Porto Katsiki on paper or canvas. This could make a great gift for the holiday season!

The transparent, turquoise waters of this Ionian jewel are unforgettable.

Allow me to give a little back story on this piece.

I decided to take this back to the drawing board. At first, I planned to make a challenge with this piece. I wanted to see if I could finish it in 1-2 days. This would allow me to post new paintings more frequently in order to appease the social media algorithm Gods. After two days, I called it finished and posted it. After looking at it some more, I realized that I wished I had spent more time on it.

This was an important lesson for me. I felt ashamed of my work. After that, I realized that I'd rather allow each painting to take the full time it needs than to just rush it out for social media. I don't care if I lose money or if the algorithm Gods decide to cast me into the abyss. I'm done sacrificing my artistic integrity for the tech elites.

A painting may truly never be finished. But you should never sacrifice its quality to get a post. Never rush art.

Featured in Article for my Painting Exhibition in Aegina

I was recently featured in this article by Aegina Portal about my painting exhibition in Aegina Town! I spoke a little Greek so it was difficult but a nice experience. Thank you to my friends Takis and Theodora at Rico Blings for showcasing my paintings in their shop and Aegina Portal for making this video 🙏💙

You can view the article here.

It's been so rewarding to collaborate with people here in Aegina and to share my work in person. I'm hoping to sell paintings, of course, but I'm also interested in using my work to do other things. If this painting exhibition in Aegina helps drive traffic and purchases at Rico Blings I will be happy. Also, if I can share some of the hidden areas of Aegina that I have discovered which are depicted in the paintings there that would be nice as well.

All of the paintings are available through my online shop.

Gallery exhibition 🔜

A Time of Art gallery representative contacted me with an offer to meet and discuss our possible collaboration. We took a trip to Kifisia, north of Athens center and where the gallery is located. We had a great chat and decided to work together.

On July 6th there will be a group exhibition opening and I am part of this exhibition. It is exciting to participate, it will be my first gallery exhibition. Looking forward to this experience and hope to have many more exhibitions in the future.

Have a great month! 🌻🍉

Kind regards,

Life events and a new painting. ✨

This past month was quite busy while spending time with family and friends, celebrating our wedding, moving to a new place, and finishing the latest painting “The Cathedral of Aegina”.

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

Blooming Pear Tree, Aegina Greece 🌸

I completed a new painting "Blooming Pear Tree, Aegina Greece".

41 x 50.5 x 2 cm, oil on canvas

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:
