Description
After a recent trip to the Greek Island of Lipsi, I painted this harbour scene and added some humour, with the priest outside the church looking for his congregation (who are sitting at the Taverna), and an old lady searching for her husband to take her to church (but he is asleep in his fishing boat, under the watchful gaze of a hungry seagull).
