11:54 AM: i painted this small oil on canvas, 18 1/2 x 53/4”, in 2007 and made some tweaks to the figurtes in 2010. it wsa painted following a summer trip to greece, with a stay in andros, where we swam at piso yialia beach and i took photos of bathers, which i used to make this painting. i had originally included the rocks behind them, but later decided that these two figures needed to stand out against a dark grey background.
this afternoon i started work on a new 38x14” painting as yet untitled.
DETAIL of bathers at piso yialia, 2007-10 oil on canvas 18 1/2 x 5 3/4”
