Echoes of sun on water
In a gallery. On a boat. A year apart.
Above, a photo I snapped of the Ionian Sea last week. Below, a picture I took at the National Gallery in Athens in September 2024 of part of one my favourite paintings, Back to Essentials III by Verghi Chryssa. You can see the full painting here (though tbh, at 1.57 x 1.97 m it's far more impressive viewed in person).
For more from me on blue(s), here's something I wrote last year:
All the kinds of blue
Diving into my favourite colour. Also: swimming as remembrance.
