Peeking

I love painting mushrooms 

Hermione and Sparrow

Here is Hermione from Harry Potter with abstracted hair. I started my painting with light sketch and masking fluid. The fluid has to be completely dry before painting so I waited for a while and painted this portrait in my head only. For the first wet wash I carefully put colors next to each other and let them mix on the paper. To do so I used four colors: phthalo blue, yellow ocher, burned umber, burned sienna and little bit of vermilion red. My black was achieved by mixing blue and umber and my white is a preserved color of the paper. The time lapse of this painting process is on YouTube

And here is an abstracted pumpkin and a little sparrow. I was visiting a local farm recently and I saw these vigorous birds everywhere. They are not very beautiful but because of their cheerful character I like them a lot.

Now some of my prints are available on Fine Art America

Kingfisher

This is my interpretation of Kingfisher, beautifully colorful hunter. Once, I saw this bird fishing at Chesapeake Bay. I can't forget this one of a kind experience and from that time I want to see more.
... and I want peace, PEACE on the earth. Too many bad things happening in the world right now
