Spring Flowers in Crete - Amanda Richardson Artist
Crete is an island of mountains. Famed for the beauty of its flora, it is a place I have always wanted to visit in spring. I have just returned from a botanical tour with Greentours a wonderful experience providing a wealth of visual material for my art. These are the plants and landscapes that will inspire my art through the year to come.
