Mixed media on canvas 60 x 50 cm.

 Did work a very long day on this canvas. In the morning there was that jubilating mood, with the sun shining and the birds singing. I remember why I wanted to come to this island just for seeing the light of the sun on the sea. I rember the beautiful reflection the joy about the abundance of colours and lines when the sun is shining on the water and the colored rocks full of life shimmer trought the water surface which transforms every thing. I remember I song I wrote when I was a teenager about water. 

I used walnut ink today together with acrylic for the bright blue colour which doesn't exist in natural pigments, and pastel to make the lines. Hope the cockroaches are not as keen on these materials as they are on my egg tempera. 

This one is fom yesterday also in mixed media on canvas 60 x 50 cm.
