Midsummer Messimeri is a large, acrylic mixed media painting, depicting everyday life in a typical Greek village during the hot, lazy days of summer. It is set in mid-afternoon, during the siesta period, when seemingly the whole village sleeps.
The painting began with a black and white line drawing, done in the back streets of Harakopio in the south west Peloponnese. The sketchbook drawing then became a much larger canvas painting with the use of artists quality acrylic paint and acrylic transfer techniques. Finally, decorative details were added to emphasise the air of tranquility and heat.

Quintessentially Greek… whitewashed walls, blue pots, red geraniums and an old electricity meter! This was drawn on-location in Vasilitsi in southern Messinia, but it could equally have been a scene found in the Greek islands.
