SOLD

Uniform of olive color, pills and stainless still flask with potent beverage for “real man” – you are in army now.
Although alcohol is strictly prohibited in armies of all countries (I guess) – flask is very important element of soldier’s gear. Unfortunately I have purchased this one when my “army career” was past far behind me. Cheers!

Soup starts from water

That's right! And here are “alpha” and “omega” of soup cooking. There is a jug for fresh spring water and a soup tureen for final product - great meal for cold winter day. Between fast food hamburger and soup – I definitely vote for soup – by 2 hands. Because it is impossible to eat it “fast” – you need space and time. Good soup starts from good water. Soup normally contains 80 to 90 percent water – just a little bit more then human body.

Plums is demo of 15 minute studies.
I told to my students to stick with one subject until they felt they really had it and then move on. There are some studies from my students below. I think you can see the progress.

Afternoon workshop




The afternoon workshop in our place.We had a limited time today because afternoon lightning is usually shorter. (A natural light it always better!). Suddenly, the the stress of lightless brought positive effect - it motivated my painters to work sharper, faster and confident.

It's my demo-work above. Not a great photo, sorry about that. Next time I should to take photos showing the progress (in some steps) of painting. I have to admit that I was worried about the light-problem and that it could make a workshop a bit stressful, but in fact it was pleasurable and lots of fun – I think we should practice daily workshops more often.

This watercolor is historical, it was drawn years ago - circa 1980
Now suddenly it sold and left home.
A little bit sad, but necessary to let them (pictures) go.
Good buy, autumn!

Sweets

Very small (only 8x6 cm / 12x10 cm with frame) oil painting, finished with natural wooden frame. Even it's a small painting - it wasn't an easy task. The semitransparent shiny sweets reflected, shined, hopped it … they just changed their look every moment! Saying the truth – they were hard target!
I think I succeeded to show their fidgetiness.

This board is a really historical one! 
It was painted by both of us, while caressing our new-born son. We were switching in this work - while one is painting, the second one was caressing the baby, vice versa.
