Paprikas - still life, oil painting

If you are a tourist in our small country (Hungary),  the first and most important thing you meet on your first day in Budapest  is paprika.
So I became a tourist on the fresh market as I saw these wonderful and fresh, hot paprikas. And it was obvious that I needed to paint my paprikas' version freshly.

Pear Friendship - small still life

Some likeliness, yes that is what you need for a good, working friendship... some likeliness. So these pears made friendship at first sight... and their new glassy friend is a new chapter in friendship.

I have to tell you, that painting this glassy friend... well, it's not an easy task.

Fight


A game is the most serious thing in the world. 
You know how it is... that fight or flight type. 
You just can NOT loose. 
And if you loose as it is predictable sometimes, 
you show your true manner. 
That is the pot.

Christmas Tree in August

In the middle of summer, it is good to think about Christmas... 
At least it is my first thought as I see this scene. This week as days are so hot,  temperature is way above average and way above 100 years' highs, it' s a nice thing to paint shadows... shadows of a wannabe Christmas Tree.

Electric Grapefruits

Electricity... wow, after so many years I am still wondering, even if  I am not the one who remembers when the first electric light bulbs were lit. 
And those type of bulbs are out of date. So If want to paint one I have to chase one, like old those old charcoal type irons. Yes, this light bulb is an old one.
