Hugo -dog portrait

Lately I painted a series of dog portraits.
Here is the second in the row, Hugo. He is my new best friend. A totally different character than Titan.
I don't know how it is with other artists, but with me I am always in love with my 'painting subjects'.

Meet My Friend, Titan -oil painting

Meet my friend, Titan. He is my best serious friend. How could not be? With that face he has... he must be serious. Anyway he's a gentle giant. Please welcome him:

White - oil painting

Painting a single white flower is not the easiest task. There are so many white values we still call 'white' that after a while and a good amount of paint I ask the philosophical question: How much white is still white?
Well, in practice even if I see the values properly, there might be are mixing problems and I can start the whole mixing job again. So for a small amount of proper white I need lots of white.

 This is my last painting of Khanom. I went up to the top of the flat rocks and put my painting equipment in the shadow of a palm tree. I didn't know that so many curious creature lived on this palm tree, each and all of them got excited of my colours. So we get acquainted with each other but not the proper way. I hope they are great yellow and blue and green survivors.

Green Water -oil painting

Usually the pools are built to look blue. But this one at the Lake Tisza was green, so green... and the reflection of the sun was so exciting... I have never seen anything like this. Look the contrast at the background ... Lake Tisza is a living water.

Sandy Beach, Khanom - oil painting

The inspiration of this painting was the different colours and shadows of a sandy beach. The 'x' sign from mother nature is freshly formed daily. What you don't see on this specific painting is the heatwave. You think that chasing for x sign is easy peasy. And I tell you, that's not the case. The bug bites and a hot day combination is challenging.

Light-minded Portrait - oil painting

I often take myself too seriously. 

For example when I prepare for an art show or an art fair (as I am doing so now).

I could come aware of the situation if I loose my sense of humor and I torture myself with every single  critique I have ever got. And what is more... I can fabricate new ones... till I get tired and finally .... stop. What a relief! 

And then:  a new life begins.

Slowly I get back the playfulness, the experiments, the humor. 

So this is a therapeutic piece, a light-minded portrait. 

I can recommend it if you don't want to be bloody serious.

Just Leaves - oil painting

Usually I paint more definite subjects. But this time I was in love these colorful leaves. 
And I wasn't sure that the deep reds and different greens and yellows would work together... or not. It's an experiment.

Mountain tops - landscape, oil painting

I love to look far away.  I am totally thrilled when I can see beautiful mountain tops. I love the best when I can see those mountain tops from an airplane: I can see a "giant's sandbox" with colorful patterns and 'wrinkles'. That giant played so well, and I can't imagine that huge energy which needed for the play.

Seascape - oil painting

This is the third piece of my landscape cycle. (and three more to come)
Be careful as you walk into the sea, it's rather rocky under the water,  just mind your legs...

Rebellion - oil painting

Once a well known painter said to us (students) 'Guys, just please, P L E A S E never paint sunsets!!!' He had seen so many bad interpretations, he had enough... I think.  So good or bad... this is my rebellion.

Orange Juice - oil painting

This painting was George's wish, because he loved my Apple juice painting so much. So he ordered something similar. So I took that jug and filled it up... with oranges. And to top it all I took a pic at halftime of the painting. I like the black gessoed base so much!

The Littlest Angel - oil painting

I painted a tiny statue because I was amazed by its dramatic appearance. 

Or was I the one who add the drama to it? Probably the dark background? 

Anyway I like its contrasts.

 You can also guess what he holds in his hands...

Fitting in

We have a tendency of longing for fitting in. 

Sometimes it is simple and natural.

And other times... well if someone is not born to be sour... what would they do?

Will they be bitter?

3 Bottles

It is simple like that: as the sun came out I have seen my colorful bottles with new eyes. There were nice and colorful shadows and wow...  I melt like an ice cube.  A simple composition begging for painting. I couldn't resist.

Canned Peaches

I preserved peaches on canvas. 

To tell the truth I don't like canned peaches at all. 

So this year this is my clever version of preservation. 

And I eat the models too.
