PAROS ISLAND GREECE NAOUSSA FISHING HARBOUR modern impressionist impasto palette knife original oil painting Original Oil Painting by ANA MARIA EDULESCU

ORIGINAL IMPASTO PALETTE KNIFE OIL PAINTING ON STRETCHED CANVAS, SIZES : 27 X 22 cm // 10.8 x 8.8 inch ( depth of the canvas : 2.50 cm // 1 inch ) - part of my Greece series of paintings.

In June and July 2017 I traveled in Cyclades islands, Greece, and was also in Paros. This painting is inspired by the picturesque harbor of Naoussa.

Naoussa is located in the northeastern corner of the island of Paros.

The beautiful picturesque fishing village of Naoussa is located in a huge bay in the northern part of Paros, 10 kilometres east from the capital, Parikia. Naoussa is considered to be one of the prettiest villages in the Cyclades and, despite the tourism development, this lovely village has manage to keep its authenticity, its traditional character and its charm, with its whitewashed and flowered little houses and its tiny whitewashed churches and chapels, surrounded by labyrinth-like narrow, stone paved streets. The lovely village of Naoussa is built amphitheatrically around a tiny picturesque port where little colourful fishing boats called caiques moor and remains of a Venetian castle can still be seen, creating a unique and enchanting atmosphere. Little taverns and ouzeries are boarding the port, giving a friendly and traditional atmosphere.
