Attalos Hotel in Athens, Greece

#2 in my Encaustics series of mixed media paintings, "Rooms with Views."  The mini fridge and TV with my reflection was sketched in a room in Italy but the upper left view was sketched from the window of the Attalos Hotel in Athens on a hot, smoggy day in 2010.  All air conditioners were on high!.

The Attalos Hotel is in a great area of Athens if anyone is brave enough to go to Greece right now.
