view of panachrandos monastery, 2007, 5 1/4 x 17 3/4” gouache on paper

ABOVE: in 2007, i made this painting in gouache on paper. it’s a view of panachrandos monastery from the road below.

1:02 PM: the new title, panachrandos monastery, derives from the fact that i shot the photo i’m working from at that magnificent monastery, which is situated 2,500 ft. high, on the side of mt. katafigio, providing an exceptional view of the capitol, chora & the surrounding area. the central figure is mikela, standing at the entrance to the courtyard.
