Description
"Café on the Rim” is an actual setting and restaurant on the rim or “Caldera” of Santorini, Greece, an island in the Aegean Sea and part of the Cyclades Islands. Almost all of the activity of the island takes place on the rim because it faces the sea and the views are unmatched anywhere in the world. The caldera was formed by an eruption of a volcano many centuries ago. The Greek people are strong and resourceful, and they rely on the land to provide a way of life that they adapt to. Many of the homes on the “rim” are carved out of the natural volcanic rock formations and called “traditional homes.” Restaurants, hotels and homes live among each other on the Island and on the rim. We actually ate at this restaurant and this is the view I captured. When a person travels to the Greek Islands, the memories last forever. I am fortunate that I can transfer some to canvas with my paintings.
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.
We issue signed Certificates of Authenticity, on all wall-art, here, so you will have evidence you bought a print authorized by the Artist. Contact us here on “BAG” after your purchase arrives.
