Here are a few of the sketches I did the past two weeks in Southern Croatia. The Dalmatian coast is stunningly beautiful. We had beautiful weather, the food and wine are great, and it’s still relatively inexpensive as far as European beach towns in August go.
Corner at Sveti Nikola, Korcula. 20 x 30 cm, oil on panel.
Bar in Korcula. 30 x 20 cm, oil on panel.
Rampada, Korcula. 35 x 23 cm, oil on linen.
Street in Korcula. 35 x 25 cm, oil on linen.
Jet-Ski Rental on Primosten. 18 x 25 cm, oil on panel.
Dubrovnik is especially beautiful, though the crowds in August are not for the faint of heart.
The Cathedral from Poljana Boškovića, Dubrovnik. 30 x 20 cm, oil on panel.
Gardens on Lokrum. 35 x 25 cm, oil on panel.
Umbrellas in Gundulic Square. 30 x 20 cm, oil on panel.
Church in Dubrovnik. 25 x 17 cm, oil on linen.
Street in Dubrovnik. 30 x 20 cm, oil on panel.
There are a few more that still need a lot of work. I’ll post an update when they’re finished.

These are beautiful, Marc. I love the neutrals; like putty, only lush and creamy. Gorgeous.
Wow, these are phenomenal Marc! Sunset on Korcula is stunning!
I was also painting in Dalmatian coast this summer. It is certainly an inspiring place to be in as an artist.

Marc, you handle the light and colour so brilliantly. These are gorgeous!
Great sketches and what a great place to paint!
Street in Korcula, is just stunning, … soo subdued and yet so much light!
These are all amazing. I’m awed by how they all look effortless. You’ve mastered making the light the main character.
Beautiful Artworks..
Your sensitivity to light/color and accuracy of form is astounding. Thank you for sharing these.
Great paintings, Marc. I love your graduations of grey and shadow. Are you back in Italy for a while now?
Amazing stuff Marc.. Love it.
