unfinished piece


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.

Side View


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.
20 * 24 inchs if memory serves.

dream heaven / جنة الحلم

40*50 inch
mixed media.
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

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.

Intricate

zoom shot.


I'm trying to step out of the box... tripping!

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.
also has quite a bit of metalic GOLD- in his robe- which my camera can't seem to catch.

p.s. i hate acrylics :(
