As part of my explorations of the eastern Mediterranean I took a cruise tour of the Greek islands. I visited Crete, Mykonos, and Rhodes, where I drew this picture of the Venetian Arsenal. You can see a stone cannonball at lower center. The tour schedule gave me enough time to draw and paint. This place was peaceful and sunny and you would have no idea that this had once been a place of fire, explosives, and war.
