Donkey conference

A few years ago there was a seminar here on the island, called The Mediterranean Donkey, with seminars, talks and films. I remember this since we rented our house to some Norwegian ladies who came to show a film of how they kept donkeys in Norway (!).
Anyway, this is how I envision the gathering of the conference, after a long day of seminars and speaches everyone met in the port to mingle.

Happy New Year 2012

Two Friends (Dio Filos)

Furniture delivery

We found an old sofa that Francesco the carpenter/furniture maker fixed for us, it's now repaired and will be fine in the garden.

The Black Gold

All the black olives now in salty marinade and the olives that were still green I put in separate bottles, also with salt; I think these will be fine as well but not as soft as The Black Gold.

I think everyone who reads this understands how very complicated this process is, right?

Harvest time

 

Five kilos of newly picked black olives, soon to be salted and marinated. I'm a talented gardener, right?

Abstract & Cat

 

I called this painting Abstract & Cat No. 1. I see many cats around here, sometimes I wonder what goes on in their sweet heads, what abstract thoughts are created in their food-centered brains?

The bridge in Vlychos

 

A new painting, somewhat more realistic than usual but how elso to draw this incredible bridge?
