Traditional landscape artist, John May, invites participants of the Greek Festival to an exhibition of paintings from his recent tour of the Dodecanese islands. Using Myrties as a base, John and a group of other artists explored Kalymnos and then traveled to Symi, Nisyros and finally Kos, painting and enjoying the traditional Greek cuisine and hospitality.

This was John’s third trip to Greece. He also traveled extensively there in 1969 with his young wife, then in 1987 with his two children. The paintings evoke the landscape, culture and history of Greece and are a reminder of this beautiful country.

After Greece John went onto Umbria in Italy to do some walking in the Sibillini National Park and a number of paintings from Umbria and some sculpture are also on sale at the exhibition.
