Let's get a little scale to show how big this painting really is.
Here it is across three easels.
Now, do I count a triptych as one painting or three paintings? Hmmm...
Nope.
Although I used my artistic license...

| Of course, I have an artistic license... Doesn't everybody? |
Although I used my artistic license with some of the composition, this was painted from photos I took, a place we saw, buildings we visited in Greece a few months ago.
 |
| There were originally 24 of these buildings in the sky. Now only six continue to be occupied by monks or nuns. |
 |
| Yes, the rainbow was really that perfect. |
 |
| Zoom in on this one. You can see the box on a cable bringing supplies across. |
 |
| The building just seemed to grow right out of the rock. |
 |
| We weren't allowed to take pictures inside the one we visited, but every square inch of the walls inside was covered with art, religious icon paintings. |
 |
| Cats everywhere... Ev.. ery... where... Also, the scarf around my waist... Women aren't allowed to show their knees inside, even if wearing pants. |
 |
| That's what was on the other side of that low wall the cat & I were sitting on. |
 |
| The view from the nunnery courtyard. |
My Weekly-ish Challenge was "Old Building." I think the intent was an old farmhouse or barn, but honestly... how much older can a building be than these! And, this painting is probably more about the landscape than the buildings, but I think it works.
