The scene from IKOS Dassia beach

Having just returned from over week in Corfu I can report that it is a delightful island, with delightful people and a great place to unwind!

We stayed in IKOS Dassia, a lovely resort right on a golden beach with warm sea water to enjoy a swim in. Great pools, restaurants and bars too, all very relaxing.

We did visit Corfu Town twice and enjoyed its busy and intriguing little streets and squares filled with lovely cafes and shops. And only a little touring about but enough to capture a few scenes to paint some sketches of this area of the island.

It was too hot to paint in the glare of the sun but our terrace provided lovely shade for some afternoon sketches.

A boat trip gave me some good scenes of Corfu town from the sea, showing how close Corfu is to Albania.

So here are few sketches which I hope will one day result in somee larger studio paintings.

Ihope you will enjoy seeing my efforts!

Happy Travelling and painting!
