Father & Son on Moped Athens, Greece Gouache 8x10 Stillman & Birn Beta Sketchbook September 22 2025
Due to the financial problems of recent years, life is hard in Greece. But it makes life seemingly more humane and beautiful. I didn't see a greedy, competitive nation, but I did see lots of warmth and love, the kind of stuff I grew up with during poverty. Here's a scene of a father with his son on a moped and it brought back memories of my own father with me and my sibblings riding shotgun on the tiny Super Cub 50cc Honda. Even after a long tiring day working he often dropped everything just to drive us on the road along the beach. I remember the wind blowing in my hair, the salty taste of ocean air, and the moon following us all the way wherever we went ... I could never find those feelings again until I came to Greece! Thank you!
