Description
The Original Oil Painting, “Red Door at Panagia Paraportiani", is available and can be viewed with extra images, enlarging portions of the Originals at BaywoodGallery.com
Panagia means the "Virgin Mary" and Paraportiani translates to ‘’standing next to the entrance door.” One English translation names the whitewashed church as “Our Lady of the Side Gate.” In any case it is well known that the church consists of five churches. The churches were built on top or next to the others. There are four different architectural styles involved including Byzantine vernacular, traditional and western styles starting centuries ago in medieval time forward with the last renovations ceasing in 1920. A web search, if interested, will tell the entire history,
When we stopped and wandered around the church on our travel to Mykonos we also toured the town historical marine museum, they told us that when the church first started it was a very seafaring and fishing oriented island. Fisherman would brave storms and when it seemed they would not return, they would pray to God for a save return. Giving thanks to God, they would build a church praising God. It explains why the beauty of the five churches and the mixture of styles created a simple, clay-like structure, known the world over.
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.
