Maltese LuzzuMost luzzus have the eye of Horus painted or carved on the bow, a talisman said to have been brought to Malta by the Phoenicians as a protection against evil. These Maltese fishing boats, resplendent in their glowing, vibrant colours can still be seen today bobbing gently on limpid waters in the enclosed harbours of the fishing villages of Gozo and Malta. It’s hard to imagine a more tranquil and soul-satisfying scene than that of luzzu out in the bay on a mirror calm sea on a clear summer’s day when the Mediterranean is magnificent and regally serene, deeply azure and seemingly infinite….

Oooooh--beautiful beautiful colors here. The boat just seems like an excuse. This could have been purely abstract, and I would have been equally happy looking at it. This is obviously not in North America.
Such a rich and amazing blue in the sea.
oh yes definitely serene and calm. hugs to you tessa.
Wonderul! The colors are very happy!
The talsiman must be working well to engender such peace.
Wonderful perspective and love the bright colors!
My heart skips when I see your work! It seems the father north one lives the more afraid of colour the environment- your colours pump life back into us! I really love your work.
Love the colours and the simplicity of your work. Love the blue! Its my fav colour :P Thanks for the visit!
Very well done, Tessa. It looks like an abstract painting but the boat shows clearly through. The colors are lovely and I wish I lived in a world as colorful as that and could dress equally so. I think I was meant to wear some exotic folk wear with bright colors and beads and copper charms to match your boat. Maybe in another life.
Fabulous vibrant colors!
your colors are vibrant & lively!
Ah I've seen boats like this one, they are stunning. The colours in your paining are so vibrant, I can almost smell the sea...
Love your vast swaths of color in elegant shapes. Thanks for the kind comments on my entry. I really like your style and am glad to see it!
A warm summer bobbing on the Med sound appealing...aaah!
beautiful - i see your wonderful life in everything you do..xo
Wow, it's just so so so beautiful!
Isn't it interesting that eyes are used in so many places as protective devices? Fascinating.
Thank you for treating my eyes to another one of your beautiful creations.
Tessa, you are full of such love and wonder for the world, and all its magnificent places. It comes through in your art, and makes you so very intriguing. Great job on your IF!
Tessa,

what a beautiful combination of colours, and the word luzzu is gorgeous too.
The eye of Horus pops up all over the world.
Mesmerizingly vibrant!
great take on the topic:)
I wanna go lay by your sea!
And with colours like that, irresistible.
Beautiful story and painting Tessa! I love your art :)

As always, your writing takes me "away." Better than any Calgon commercial:) And, how many different ways are to say that I love your artwork?
P.S. Your "mugs" are gorgeous, and Mr. Edwards looks like one happy husband:)
I love the colors in this painting especially. Serene indeed!
i love it! the painting, and the depth of history in that part of the world.... how long have those bright boats been bobbing there? protected by Horus' eye...
The mug family look great :-)
