Crete - Rethymno, Art and About

 

I forgot to put it in yesterdays blog but this is the door into the phyllo makers shop.

Just a little way down and on the other side of the street is Art and About. Finally a real art gallery not one just selling tourist/mass produced "art".

The proprietor said it was fine to take pictures and put them up on to the blog. These by Dana Dana.

Most of Taal Goldmans were painted on brown paper bags.

Loved the colours. By Irit Levin.

So realistic. By Hanan Milner

Variations on the bull theme by Elya Yalonetski.

These are not your usual cute kitties. By Olga Oreshnikov.

Some sweet little miniatures

also by Hanan Milner.

The proprietor said he didn't know the artist for this one, it had been left after a public exhibition. I found it amusing

along with the t-shirts he had for sale.Designed by Ziv Koren.

  It was two stories of diverse works of art and most of the artists have a link to both Crete and Israel. 

From there I continued

through the old town

to the Venetian Harbour

to finish my sketch of the lighthouse

and do another of Rick's crane.

Little pieces of history

at every turn.

I hadn't been down this street before

another Mosque

abandoned, neglected, surrounded by weeds.

 

Meanwhile in Munich Rick went to the science museum. This time he identified the photos he sent even though he reported an exhausting day of walking and now needing a nap! I have copied the identification verbatim  rather than having to deal with the German spelling myself.

Frauenkirke from Marienplatz. The two towers are quite a landmark

Otto von Bismark

Looks a bit like a Maypole. It was in what I call the market area. The whole area is filled with vendors selling cheese meat, veggies etc

They had a fantastic aviation display, its wear I spent the most time
