Shells-

Another painting in my series of shells. 80/90cm oil painting. The back ground is done with a combinations of transparent colors. Using liquid gel for oil paints, in the past I used to do this with turpentine, but liquid gel is a better solution. Turps leaves your paintwork looking dull, sure you can apply varnish to the painting at the end but its best to wait a couple of months before applying varnish, liquid gel dries fast and comes in plain and light i usually buy the light it feels thinner to paint with. but in general I use little paint and I like the smooth finish touch. So even after I've finish each step I use a very fine wand brush to smooth things out.

Sea Shell

Oil Painting 70/80 cm . I love painting enlarged items. My series of Sea Shells were snatched up and sold fast. Being a beach lover, I am at the beach regularly. Usually on a Saturday's for breakfast, summer and winter. I find that just sitting there energizes me for the whole week. In summer I go more often, at the end of the day to see the sunset and "breath" relax with a shandy. I don't need much after that, Its as if my day is then done and all is good in the Universe.
You hear of people going all over the world to wonderful beaches, to relax and have a holiday, while I sit and look out at the ocean and think , this is a blessing and its A 5 minute walk down my road.
Shells have been a major pastime, and looking for them on the beach never tiers me. I don't bring them home any more, as I have a big collection and a bucket of a collection that belongs to my daughter. I've tried to be more creative gluing actual shells in my art but they never turned out quiet as I liked, until I just started painting enlarged shells that took them totally
out of proportion.

Purim Party






Purim Party's are like carnival, just do what you want to, change character and have a ball. The Art that goes into Body art and costumes, is Art no the less. I'm sure I can get hold of professional photo's to show you people in action, but I'm only adding ordinary people doing ordinary fun things here. The truth is that having fun is an Art, it sometimes might expose side's of yourself that you are afraid others might look at as being silly or stupid or ugly if it is your painting, I know Ive been there myself once or twice. My son as a child loved dressing up until the age of 10, but after that he too thought it was stupid and never tried, until he was about 19-20. One Purim he arrived home with a Wizards outfit, hat and all, and had a ball.
The years that followed Purim meant stepping out of character, a funny hat a moustache, anything that made some-one else giggle.
It seems to give us extreme pleasure when we know that friends or children have a good time.
Try Creating More Fun in your Life !

Tulip's in Amsterdam

I used to live in Amsterdam for many years.
If you have ever been a tourist in Holland, you definitely went to the Tulip gardens, if not make a plan to do that on your next trip. But to locals living there, we would see tulips growing every-where as soon as the season arrived, I loved this site. Every flower shop or cart, on every street corner, comes alive with a magnificent ray of colours. Instinctively you just want to smell them, they don't have a sent, but they have the smell of flower greens, fresh and alive. On one of my return visits to Amsterdam it was such a period.
I went to the Albert Kaup market, and in a little side shop found a beautiful book by Liz Dobbs, (photography by Clay Perry) with beautiful pictures of Tulips. I have painted a series of Tulips since, some I've sold. This painting is done in oil painting on canvas(70-80cm) and a professional photographer took this picture. The quality of photography that I took of other paintings is not too great but I'll submit them some other time.
