An original collage-painting combining fragments of Greek text and some handwritten postcard text with one\u00a0of my drawings of a traditional Greek village. The village in question happens to be in the south Peloponnese, where the drawing was originally done on location, looking down the stepped street.<\/p>\n
The title of the painting alludes to the postcard which was sent from holidaymakers in Rhodes to friends in England in April 1970.<\/p>\n
Created on 300gsm watercolour paper, the collage was carefully built up with layers of papers adhered with matte medium and painted with artists quality acrylic paints and inks, then given a final coat of clear protective varnish.<\/p>\n
Having a Lovely Time measures 12 x 12cm (4.75 x 4.75\u2033) and comes with a white mount measuring 23 x 23 cm
\n(9 x 9\u2033).<\/p>\n
The mount fits a standard square frame (such as a 23cm square IKEA RIBBA) making a simple and economical framing solution.<\/p>\n
The painting was part of a series of 100 paintings I recently completed on the theme \u2018Inspired by Greece\u2019 so could be hung as part of a group of small paintings with others from this series.<\/p>\n
It also looks great in its own right, hung on its own.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
