Nafplio, Greece

On a recent trip to Greece I saw two men sitting outside a an old stone cafe situated in the Syntagma Square, Nafplio. Straight away I knew I wanted to paint this scene. The stone work on the building and pavement contrast beautifully with the figures and chairs. I also love the composition and the formal clothing of the man on the left. Nafplio is a wonderful town rich in history and in spring ablaze with the colours of bougainvilleas. This painting sits inside a dark grey wooden frame and works brilliantly with light coloured walls.

There is something meditative when viewing his work, of a place and time that will never be repeated showing the transient nature of our place.
