Dorian Gray

It's been a while since i've done a book painting.

I was reading Oscar Wildes "the picture of Dorian Gray"

which ended up as part of the setup for this painting.

I'm not quite sure it's finished though. :p

I just finished this one.

Still hung on reading paintings. Again painted from life.

Looks like i'm on my way to using all my books in painting set-ups :p

The book i used here is Turkish author Orhan Pamuks' "my name is red".

A very interesting read. highly recommend it.

I haven't posted for a while not really having painted much..
No wonder I'm so down, I need my painting medicine.

This in progress is from life. I've had the setting ready all week. Finally jumped back in with both feet. Did this in 2 relatively short sittings. Hoping to wrap it up in the next couple of days.
Will keep you posted.

Old Kettle & Mug.... Oil

I started this piece sometime last week, and left it hanging. I decided to finish it up so i worked on the mug yesterday. I have to figure out what to do with the backgound as i've way too much space at the top.

I'll probably post the finished piece soon as I want to get rid of the set up>> now there's a reason to finish a painting :p
