A Day Of Reds

A friend of mine, a nutritionist always says to pay attention to the colours on our plates. If we have the greens and yellows and blues and whites we more likely get all the nutritions we need. One day I will try this approach on a painting as well. Till then here is the day of reds. 

This composition has just begged for a black gesso. I couldn't resist.

Reds on red - oil painting, tomatoes, brush, coffee cup

Reds on red. This painting couldn't be more red... 

My experiment was how far  I can push the quantity of red on a painting.

And finally my never ever used fancy brush got a function.  

It is weird a bit that I used it for its bright blueness and still never used as a brush.

See-through 1.

It is so much fun to touch, feel, wear see-trough fabrics. And I realized how much fun to paint them. Normally I paint on panels, but this time I painted on linen. Well, it is fun the see-through fabric and  struggle to paint on this surface, gesso doesn't help much...
May be I am snobbish... 'linen is so hard for me', silk is my favorite.
And to have a photo... well... it is not the best one, you have to see-through.
No matter what, I wanted to share.

Poppies in June

June. Red poppy-fields are nearby. I haven't seen so many, full of red, red poppies. They feather softly in the wind. Their redness are dissolved by some yellow and white and purple flower-islands. And if you lean on them there are small petals like wings in the wind. The whole view is a poem itself.

Cautious Portrait - oil painting

Painting a portrait is not the easiest task on the planet. 

Human eye and mind combination are so precise and 

delicate together that just a small nuance

and the likeliness is over. 

So much contemplation and more practice that I need. 

Tell me, if you have a quicker version to get likeliness.

Flowering Happens - small, amaryllis oil painting

Sometimes we just wait for flowering. It seems, time has not come, not yet. And there is that miraculous  moment, when flowering happens. Where is it come from? There is nothing in that bulb, no flower.
How can a flower like this be hidden inside? Miraculous.
