New Painting

There are many nice photos that I keep them to make silk prints for my CQ projects. I inspired from one of them to make this painting. Too much details were great for me to make a crazy painting:)) When you review detaills you'll understand me more clearly....
I don't like to use bigger size canveses for these type paintings. This canvas is a small size, 15x19".
I think, an old looking frame will be neat for this painting, what do you think? Your suggestions will be deeply appreciated.

My new paintings

I started to spend more time for painting in the previous weeks. This photo shows my last painting that I finished it yesterday. I enjoyed to work on it so much. There are some paintings that I visualize myself to be there. This one was one of them, it took me to our Mediterrenian coast. I wanted to sit and stitch under the dark shades of the trees in that hot summer day...lovely geraniums were waiting to be watered after the sun-set! Maybe, a lovely baking cake smell was coming from the inside!!! Well, please don't get surprized if I start to write a novel soon:)))
I love to play with oil paintings after long time struggles of using acrylics. This is another imprestionist work.

This photo was taken at Glasgow, Scotland a few years ago. It was right after a heavy rain shower, sun was trying to show its face behind the clouds. I think, my photo shows the serenity of Bonnie Glasgow well enough.

I wanted to reflect the serenity of Bonnie Glasgow in my paintings. I copied previous photo onto my canvas! But, I added some flowers. Otherwise, it shouldn't reflect my colorful crazy world.

My last painting

I'm so glad that I don't do reproduction paintings anymore. I assured my teacher and started to use landscape photos of my own. Of course, it is much more joy to work from a photo that I took myself. Today, I finished this painting, I liked its outcome and wanted to share with you all. I enjoy to work oil paintings, my oil painting longing lasted now. I worked with acrylics for a long time, of course they never give same satisfaction of oils paints.
Here is my inspirational photo of a lovely village house at Austria that I took that photo during our recent trip.
My painting doesn't have any idea to be an impressionist or classic style!!!!!...I just wanted to paint as I wish:)) When I was working on this painting I visualized myself at those lovely Tirol mountains and valleys once again and I remembered an old favorite book "How green was my valley" by Richard Llewellyn, I think I was a sophomore when I've read that book. OMG, more the 35 years.... I must read it once again...
There are other so many photos that I would like to make their paintings as well. It is for sure that I'll have a painting collection of my trip photos near future... I always joke, my DD will be rich after me...you know, the value of the painters are realized after they die!!!! LOL!!!!
I would love to have your comments, criticisms.... Love to you all.....:))
