Yet more paintings...

More paintings....

It is embarrasing that I haven't updated my blog for ages,now I want to fill the gap with paintings I did since I last posted something here.

This is the online announcement of my upcoming exhibition in İzmir.This is my first time in İzmir and I'm excited that I'll be able to meet many online friends .

I finally have opened my first solo exhibition in Bodrum where I currently reside.I shared a pretty big hall with another artist who is not a watercolorist.Not a huge crowd  at the opening evening but the turnover was pretty good as some of my old  favourite stuff were sold.The exhibition will end on 3rd January 2013.

30x50cm Arches 300gm +Schmincke colors

I 'm posting  works I did in recent days all at once.All half sheets.Colors from Schmincke and Dick Blick.I must say that I have been dissappointed by burnt sieanna by Dick Blick;it is  dull and like an ordinary brown comparing with W&N and Schmincke.

From still warm and beatiful Torba...

My first post for a long time is called impressions from Torba boat shelter.Painting is dark but not Torba/Bodrum where a wonderfuly warm and bright Autumn is prevailing.Temp is around 28-30'C (82-86'F) but I remember the dark winter days.
