Title
Five Crosses On Santorini
Artist
Mary Grden
Medium
Painting - Oil On Canvas
Description
This painting now in print, has five churches in its view. One of the crosses is fairly difficult to see almost camouflaged, in front of a window. The churches of Santorini, are seen everywhere you go in Greece. This is how people live on the remains of a centuries' old Volcano. Many of the traditional homes are carved from the volcanic rocks. Most patios are filled with an umbrella, pots and flowers or a stairway to another dwelling. Some island dwellers find solitude in the far reaching areas of neighboring volcanic islands, all remnants of the same Volcano which formed Santorini. Below is the Aegean sea, usually my favorite color or hue of cobalt blue.
I am a “realist” painter, not a photo-realistic painter. I regard myself as a self-imposed “Representational Realist.” “I only represent, reality, God makes everything, perfectly real.” “Painting for me is much like writing is to an author, once the Paint is put to the Canvas many more than one, can enjoy viewing the Original and finding a Print.”

If you are choosing paper, for wall art and it is to be framed under glass I recommend what I print on, Watercolor Paper. I also print on Canvas, with the same, clear, results. The other surfaces, like Metal and Acrylic make great choices for areas with high moisture like kitchens and baths too. Hanging any Art in direct sunlight is not recommended.
