i was studying the letter ain today & thought why not give my marbled paper a try!

The good the bad & the ugly

-I haven't painted for a while and have missed it dreadfully.

It feels so good to be back at it.

- the bad & the ugly are time-lines in the 'no painting' zone.

أنشودة المطر

I was asked to paint this for a wedding present.

one of my fav poems.

أنشودة المطر للسياب

عيناك غابتا نخيل ساعة السحر

أو شرفتان راح ينأى عنهما القمر

عيناك حين تبسمان تورق الكروم

وترقص الأضواء كالأقمار في نهر

what a night, what a month

Corniche

spammers suck

I've had to turn on my comment moderation - which I really don't like - because of all the spam comments I've been getting lately.

please come back, read, look & tell me what you think. I do like hearing from you.
spammers; your not invited!

Soon

Another passion in the works.

Soon :)
