I had long shied away from the hazards and pitfalls of al fresco work. I had tried it once and got utterly bored on my own and therefore never bothered about it till one of my artist friends asked me to paint in Gozo. It was a disaster as it was one of the worst siroccos I have ever experienced and despite the merits of  'wet on wet' there are indeed limits to that! It must be said however that I was well and truly hooked and have been going out with an ever increasing circle of artists and painting in various locations. The style has to be fast and inventive and must capture the spirit of the place rather than the precise physiognomy and topography; we will leave that to the photographers! One of my greatest inspirations is the late lamented Giuseppe Arcidiacono who I admired tremendously and whose boldness I timidly try to emulate!                                     photo taken by Darren Zammit Lupi
