My second live painting in the ancient city of Messinia in Kalamata, the largest island in Greece. It was a beautiful day, with nice weather and I was the only one at that particular spot to just paint. I was captivated by the beautiful white and yellow wild flowers that dotted the fields. It was another very blissful afternoon with no one around...Memories are made of these...Below some info extracted from Wikipedia:

Ancient period
Main article: Messenia (ancient region)

Ancient Theater in Messene.
Messenia is mentioned in the oldest work of European literature, the Iliad.[citation needed] The name undoubtedly goes back to at least the Bronze Age, but its origins are lost in the world of mythology. The region was one of the largest that was conquered and enslaved as helots by ancient Sparta.

Medieval period
In the Middle Ages, Messinia shared the fortunes of the rest of the Peloponnese. Striking reminders of these conflicts are afforded by the extant ruins of the medieval strongholds of Kalamata, Coron (anc. Asine, mod. Korone), Modon (Methone) and Pylos. Messenia was a part of the Byzantine Empire.
