Description
While in Mykonos we learned of houses that, originally, were "bird houses", set in the country or high on a hill, like this one. Traditional housing on the Cyclades group of Greek Islands, including Mykonos and Santorini varies from island to island and beyond. The houses on Mykonos are more traditional in their structure and those in Santorini are more native to the volcanic rock formations especially on the Caldera. This traditional house was actually a "bird house" a very large one at that, rescued by someone who saw the beauty and gave it back to the land in the form of a house for himself.
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.
