My new painting, Venice!

I've completed another painting today. This time, I've tried a new thing from Italy. I couldn't visit "Bella Italy" since last year, but I was there while I'm making this Venice painting. I assumed myself there, I was stitching while listening Andrea Bocelli who is my favorite singer. This painting seemed so easy at the beginning. But, its details took longer time than I expected. You can imagine how it is hard to complete a painting like this with lots of details with the acrylic paints. But, I really enjoyed to work on this painting, to work on its small details was great fun.
I'm so glad that I'll be using oil paints from now on. I've had to use acrylics as a preventive action for my health. But, it is "BASTA", as Italians say.
I think, my patience is enough to struggle with these acrylics, it is time to use oil paints:))

Another snow painting:)

We have a lovely spring time here but I just completed this painting of the snowing. It was another hard case for me with a lots of details of this reproduction but I stubbornly completed another detailed work with the acrylic paints!

My Combined Painting Exhibition

As most of you know, I attend an art studio and take painting lessons. We had opening cocktail party of our first combined exhibition at Feb.21th, Saturday. I joined the exhibition with six paintings. My paintings are all acrylics among all other the wonderful oil paintings but I must admit that I got very nice feed backs and compliments during the cocktail that I never expected. I hope I'll be able to open my own exhibition soon. My dear family and friends shared my happiness except my precious daughter. She couldn't come to Istanbul due to bad weather conditions. In this photo, I'm together with my mother in front of my newest painting.

Here is a highlight of my last painting that I've completed last week to display at the exhibition. It is another reproduction with lots of details that seems impossible to make with the acrylic paints but I did it again! It is a reproduction but I never stop to reflect my craziness to put some additions. Have you notice a Christmas tree at the second floor window?
