A Quieter Blue Dome

Oil painting of a blue-domed Greek church and white rooftops beneath a gray sky

Oil painting

My wife and I visited Greece this summer, and this was one of the views I wanted to bring home in paint. It isn’t the blue dome you usually see on postcards. Our guide took us to a tucked-away spot among the hotels where we could see this one up close.

Honestly, I liked it much more than the popular tourist viewpoint. Sometimes the part of a trip that stays with you is the place you wouldn’t have found on your own.
