Lipsos Series

Before the going away party, Lipsos, Greece 1972

The Lipsos Series of seven paintings was based on a number of drawings done while living on the island of Lipsos, Greece, in 1972. To this day the island is known as "the island of churches." The work was painted from these drawings at San Francisco in 1972 and 1973. Three of these paintings have been lost.

the smile is deceptive: just before the going away party with friends. At dawn, I'm told , the group was just about as big, minus the children, of course. Lipsos, Greece 1972
