Paros, Greece. I shot the photo of this painting just a few minutes ago as the sun was setting,<br />
so I believe the painting is better than the photo, more blue, less red, by a lot. Still I'm going to Mykonos tomorrow, more windmills there, and I'm not sure about my internet connection for the next four<br />
nights, wanted to post something from Paros today.<br />
<br />
It feels very strange. The people are wonderful and it is summer here, beautiful, but shops<br />
are empty, restaurants are empty and I'm the only guest in this 15 room hotel, a hotel on the<br />
water, I have a terrace room, my cost is 25 euros a night and that includes breakfast. <br />
<br />
I came to Paros from Athens by ferry, almost a five hour ride, I just wanted the experience of that,<br />
and so I sat and watched the landscape change and I did this and that and read the newspaper.<br />
One article said that almost a third of the shops operating in the Athens city center have shut down<br />
since this time one year ago. "Out of 6,532 businesses, 1,850 have closed for good." lesleyrichhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18339453187740911526noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5717733739574134073.post-80482055314957834332012-10-03T04:30:00.000-07:002012-10-03T04:30:04.185-07:00October 2, 2012<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

So I raced home and painted the canal from the pier, first to the east (this is not the first time) and then St. Lucy to the west. I don't dare paint today because if I do then I'll never go home, and I'm attempting to go home tomorrow. lesley<br />
