This painting belongs to the Kassandra Peninsula series of landscape and seascape paintings created in the summer months of 1973-1974 at the picturesque seaside village of Posidi in Chalkidiki. The constant sea breeze and mesmerizing sunlight reflections on the bay, the surrounding hills filled with pine trees and olive groves rendered this unspoiled part of northern Greece the artist’s favourite vacation retreat throughout his lifetime. It is where he indulged in painting, fishing and writing.
