Description
My friend Ana was gracious enough to allow me to work from a great photo she took of a backstreet in the city of Chania on the island of Crete. The color and the ambience is undeniable and of course having a world class artist take the photo sure helps. I am not sure I caught a lot of the atmosphere but it sure was fun to paint.

You did capture the atmosphere R/W Bob ! What a totally top class artistic combination from two equally superb artists. Just love your siennas and blues,textures.light, and the way you express so much in a feely abstract,yet not abstract way,because it is totally clear what this beautiful scene is! Hope I'm not rambling! Just love this and want to wish you many happy sunny days as I have things to do and will be absent from FAA for most of the summer.Catch up again I hope! You are one of my top favourite artists here without a doubt.L/F

Just wanted to sign out, but simply couldn't, I just have to take another look. Incredible work, Bob ! Love everything about it. Definitely my words are poor in expressing the beauty of this piece.
ANA MARIA EDULESCU
Wow ! I have no words to express my pure enchantment to see this new work of yours from Chania, Bob. Your use of colors is simply heavenly and all those textures you created with your palette knives are fabulous. You so awesomely expressed the atmosphere from this charming city from Crete. I am late in discovering this amazing painting, but the joy of admiring it is incredible. I'm in love with your almost geometrical approach in this masterful work ... look to what all those brilliantly added black lines create the rectangle colorful shapes that give an abstract feeling that I love so much. Extraordinary painting, Bob ! Once again you leave me speechless, my friend. f,l
