i've been at sort of a stand still with this one for the past few days. i'm not sure if i want to add to it or just let it be.

heavily leaning towards letting it be.

this one was murder. it's so hard to do scapes indoors.
be that as it may, i'm intrigued... i think i'll do a second.

i'm pretty sure this is finished, though i've not signed it yet.

I'm not sure if this is quite finished yet. been pulling my leg all week

أوقفتني في جنة الحلم وقالت :تحلم في حلمك بسلالٍ مكتنزة
بالقناديل،
فلا تخرج من النوم وحدك. هات الأحلام معك،
يجن جنونُهم في
حضرة
الحلم، وتصاب بالحب فتبرأ

ok then, finally wrapped this one up.

this is mixed media leaning heavily towards acrylics

on watercolor cardboard.

say cheese

yup, back to them realistic paintings.

post that lovely chippery opening you can probably guess guess at the twisted lips & grinding teeth . And as any sane person you'ld probably ask: so why do you do them?!

I'm figuring they must be good for something. sort of like doing homework, or a trip to the dentist.

so there you go, painting's sometimes a cross between homework & a trip to the dentist.

this one's still in progress.

local siesta

40 × 50 cm.

lot's to say here, but i'm abit panicky about the "where to"& "how to get there" of painting...
I need to chill, maybe have a siesta.:p

I finally let it be but i'm not particularly fond of it; not at the moment anyhow.

there 's quite a bit of gold sheen on this though it doesn't show in the photo.

I'm also having a go at acrylics which are way way outside my comfort zone.

This is larger than my regulars, it's a 16*20 inch canvas panel.
