I Love (Cypriot) Food

Image
  This is a roadside sandwich van or ‘καντίνες’. One of several, this one was particularly superb. I sat with my friend on a hot June day in the leafy shaded seating, with a fresh homemade lemonade and a massive ‘all the works’ sandwich, with various meats, cheese, salad and mayonnaise. It was situated in Akamas natural park, among the more stunning corners of an already beautiful land. The actual van had so much character, with many more faded stickers and stuff on it. 

Salcombe, England.

This was done from Pickle , a Contessa 39ft sailing yacht. Moored up just down the river from the utterly charming, totally posh, Salcombe. Situated on the south west coast of England in Devon. It had been sunny later in the day, but here in the morning, the clouds were a moody grey blue. Yet such a peaceful place to sit and wash the gentle waves lapping against the hull. Below is a boat winch, specifically used for the genoa sheet.

Mirador de Tortugas

  This sketch was done of the stunning sunset at Mirador de Tortugas, in Puerto Escondido, Mexico. It is one of the most beautiful spots for watching sunsets I have ever visited. The picture is done from about twenty minutes after the sun had dipped silently over the life giving ocean horizon. It’s a lovely spot where there are various different places to sit, on sand, on rock, and usually there are around 15-30 others you are sharing the beautiful moment with. It was done in sketchpad on an iPad mini 6.
