Across the Aegean: An Artist's Journey From Athens to Istanbul

The rich lands of Greece and Turkey are home to sun-washed towns, timeless historical sites, and stunning seascapes.

On the journey from Athens to Istanbul via the glorious Grecian islands, McLoughlin captures exquisite landscapes, delectable foods, and ancient cities in her vibrant and warm watercolor style - musing in her detailed and delightful paintings, pen-and-ink sketches, and handwritten text on the quality of light, rich colors, and the many pleasures all around her.In towns with names such as Nafplio, Ephesus, Edremit, and Ahkaladokampos. McLoughlin meets up with caravans of sheep, drinks Nescafe frappes, visits open-air markets, and watches an ethereal pink light settle over the ruins. As winter chills these lands of summer, she captures with pen and brush the warmth of the people, the radiance of the architecture, and the vivid glow of the Aegean Sea.
