Painting of Agia Efimia
When we visit Kefalonia in June, we would like to buy a painting of Aghia Efimia. Do you know of any artists in the locality where we might find one?

Although Peter's no longer a resident, he maybe able to help in your quest. http://www.thegallerykefalonia.com/ There was a lady up by the kastro last year in memories cafe that had paintings, theres also a small art gallery just as you go down the other side of the hill.

Although Peter's no longer a resident, he maybe able to help in your quest I am sure he would help to lighten your wallet! (he was good at that) but unfortunately not a good painter (artist yes) :-D Do it the simple and much cheapness way, take a piccy, blow it up and sort of fill it in with paint, a bit like paint by numbers. It will look good if you take your time and you will have the pleasure of saying, I painted that!

Peter is also keen follower of the paint by numbers method as well. :-D

I did actually check with Peter to see if he had any paintings of AE, but he had sold them all!! I am no good with paint but maybe I will bring my sketch book with me and see what I can do!

I may have spotted a niche tourist market - a small art gallery in AE showing works by locals and resident Brits! So all I need to do is to find a small property in AE, convert the downstairs and get started. My commission fees will be .........er? Oh and I might even need to learn to paint and sketch and not by numbers! On the other hand ...............£££££$$$$$!!! Sounds like one of Baldrick's 'cunning plans' which I seem to recall had basic design faults. I obviously need a detailed business plan at once. Any advice? :lol: :P :shock: :wink:

The problem here is by tradition one has to "snuff it" before one's paintings are worth anything.............need to sell a few to warrant the expense of The little house on the......... well, sea front!

I painted a woman in the nude once. But it was freezing so I had to put my clothes on. :P

Oh NO!!!!!!
I was inspired by the link, so rushed to my paint box, so just for you Denise I spent hours and hours pouring over a canvas and here it is! Available in A4 or A3 if required! Thanks for the link Teggsy, loved his pictures, the problem was Judi passed by as I was clicking through his galleries... The OOOO's And Ahhhh's and Oh that beautiful is starting to sound a bit 'spensive to me! .....I think we are going to be a bit poorer soon! :cry: TDC 8)

Thank you TDC for all your hard work - I had to look really closely to see the numbers! Can you frame it for me as well please??? The link is great! I shall have a good look later (after my WI meeting!)

That Darn Cat- 05-21-2008

There you go Denise, framed and ready to go! Thought I would use some of the rare roman black, grey and white mosaics recently found in Sami. :shock: It's now a collectors item! :wink: Shhhhh............don't tell the archaeological authority! Did you want A3 or 4? :pirate: TDC 8)
