On a hilltop in between the villages of Gumusluk and Derekoy in Turkey there lies 6 or so derelict and ancient windmills. Sadly in what is termed 'The Concrete Tsunami' in Turkey, they will be demolished in order to build something more modern.... maybe some villas that can overlook the Aegean Sea.

On a hilltop in between the villages of Gumusluk and Derekoy in Turkey there lies 6 or so derelict and ancient windmills. Sadly in what is termed 'The Concrete Tsunami' in Turkey, they will be demolished in order to build something more modern.... maybe some villas that can overlook the Aegean Sea. Sadly these reminders of 'days gone past' will also be forgotten.

This is a series of paintings of the windmills and hopefully a collector would like to purchase the set.

This is #2 of 3

Craig Roach or more commonly known as Roachie, has wandered the secluded and stunningly beautiful WW1 battlefield of Gallipoli for thirty years. In that time he has seen nature slowly taking back the scars and tragedies of war. Roachie, has always been an avid artist and has passionately devoted his life on creating an artistic legacy of this tragic but beautiful place.

The hills, gullies, old trenches and beaches are littered with the remains of WW1. A hundred years on and there is now an artistic marriage between man and nature.

If you'd like to visit this place then Roachie will take you off the beaten track, show you the best place to paint, draw, sit in solitude and maybe share a bottle of wine. You can check out my exploits if you search for The Gallipoli Artist, on the web or Facebook.

See you there,
Roachie - The Gallipoli Artist
