My Recent Exhibition





Today my exhibition is officially over.I'll take down the remaining paintings tomorrow."Remaining"doesn't mean a lot sold,only six but I'm not unhappy about it.It was a very small but very nice galery and only 25 paintings were in display. 5 of the sold paintings are Istanbul scenes,landscapes of which I had strong hope of sales didn't sell so maybe this is something I should keep in mind for the next exhibition.I'm happy that my Shanghay Biennale piece was also sold.

By the way, my "Pastoral" was in display in the opening night then I sent it to France as it was selected for the Salon de L'Aquarelle du Haylan 2011 international Watercolor Exhibition which will start on 18th April.

Nusret, congrats on the exhibition. Also, I think the 'Pastoral' is a superb painting, well selected for the Expo in France.
Now, something that has me intrigued. The word 'Nisan'....is Turkish for April? Or another calendar? Would appreciate your answer.

Nusret, these are very interesting paintings, direct and full of atmosphere. You have really captured the feel of the landscape. I particularly like the portraits too.

I visited your exotic city in the 1970s and it was a very interesting experience.

Greetings from Sydney, Australia.
