A watercolor painted in 1969 while I was living on the southeast shoreline of Crete, Greece, in the small village of Plaka. The subject is the small island of Spinalonga, a former Venetian fortress built to protect mainland Crete from Turkish incursions. Many years later, it became a leper colony, which was abandoned in 1957, and subsequently developed into a red-light district.
At the time I painted this work, Spinalonga was simply a compelling curiosity—a place to swim out to (about a 30-minute swim with jet fins), wander through overgrown vegetation and weathered architecture, and let the imagination reconstruct its layered past. I have not researched its current status in depth, though I would not be surprised if it has since been restored and transformed into a tourist destination.
