In the Etsy Mall and Work in Progress

Setting up shop!

I have a new Etsy Store (KaraAsilanis), check it out: http://www.etsy.com/shop/KaraAsilanis?ref=shop_sugg

A foray into the virtual world although really its pretty physical since there are human beings all connected this way.. how do my paintings and the people that love them find each other after all – doing what I can to facilitate this 😉

And a merry matchmaking it is!

Work in Progress:

I’ve returned to a favorite subject of mine recently… Greece. This work in progress is from the island of Santorini:

I tend to paint the sky last in painting landscapes or architecture, and for me the sky can make all the difference in whether a painting ‘works’ for me…. I rarely have an idea of how I’ll paint it until I’m doing it and I like that, it somehow brings the whole piece together. Stay tuned….
