Here you are another great artist, whose paintings refer to the greco-italian war of the WWII. His name is Alexandros Alexandrakis.
In World War II, which in Greece is called the Greco-Italian War, Alexandrakis and his five brothers were called to military duty to the Greek-Albanian borders. He found himself in the high mountainous area of 'Pindos' where he served as corporal. Inspired by his situation, he sketched and painted his memories in a series of artworks that made him popular in Greece in the post-war years. A collection of them was published in 1968 with the title 'Thus we fought' (original in Greek: Έτσι πολεμούσαμε). https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexandros_Alexandrakis

Hi Roger,
Those are some really nice paintings mate, I love the lighting effects on all three. You and your Greek themes are rubbing off on me and I've had to put on the Guns of Navarone to quench my thirst.
cheers
Richie

I think the falconer is actually an Albanian but to be fair the border at the time was a bit "fluid".
You'd better put Norman Wisdom on.

You will have seen the latest news in figures from N S prod, the Falconer. Perhaps I ought to put up my fav picture again.

That's what prompted me to post him here Bob.

I have to add to this listing, the well known master modeler Thanos Vassilikos, as a talented illustrator too.
