Things are now going very well in Limassol in Cyprus and the group is gelling nicely. I am painting everyday, as well as swimming in the sea, eating good food, drinking a few beers and playing and losing games of contract whist (card game). On Friday, most of us went to Nicosia on the bus. I was dying to get out Limassol to see a bit of the landscape and I got a good amount of drawing done, which is already feeding into my new paintings. Interestingly, my work looks quite similar to the work I did here in 2002 in terms of colour and a sense of mythology. Here are a few images from my studio today. I am uploading them straight from my camera from a dodgy internet cafe in Limassol so no time to tidy them up…
