skouloudis’ shop, 15 1/2 x 9 3/4” watercolor on arches paper
4 PM: i just completed the new watercolor: skouloudis shop, 15 1/2x 9 3/4” the original is in egg tempera, so using watercolors was tricky, but i think it worked out well.
1:05 PM: this morning i started work on a watercolor version of my 1979 painting in egg tempera on board, skouloudis’ shop. nikos skouloudis was a beloved member of the tiny, at the time, world of chora, andros. we frequented his sweet little shop, where he sold local produce and, as you can see from the original painting, skip detergent, etc.
as you can tell from the black ribbon on his jacket, he was in mourning for a family member when i shot the original photo.
