This is a door from my imagination, although it’s certainly similar to many doors I’ve painted over the years whilst out and about on location. This door represents all the old doors on crumbly old village buildings – many shut up for eleven months of the year when their owners live in Athens, or further afield. For one month of the year, or less, they are opened and the house comes to life. Usually it’s in August, when their city owners come the houses are aired, cleaned and opened up. People swim, hang out on balconies, chat in the streets and tavernas and enjoy village life for a short time… Sometimes people come to the village ‘for the olives’ – for a short time between October and January. For the rest of the year the doors remain firmly shut, defending the house against the winter rains. The little olive tree, constrained by the size of its pot somehow survives the neglect…

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.
