Cornflower Blue
A painting I did for my mum that I don’t like that much but the background is nice
Let Us In
I’ve been away for the entire month and have had no time. Therefore, this entire entry is based upon the fact that ‘Letters’ sounds a bit like ‘Let us’. It also sounds a bit like ‘Lettuce’ hence the lettuce leaves. Sorry it’s just a shaky pun.
Going Over Old Things
I recently experimented with double-exposure photography. The first exposures of the film were exclusively well-lit flowers in front of a black background. The second round of exposures were portraits of people in my life. These are a few of my favourites.
A Villa in the Jungle
While attending the artist Gil Mualem-Doron’s exhibit 'A Villa in the Jungle: Real A-State Agent,' I was struck by one particular photograph. The exhibit's focus was on the Israeli settler movement and the erasure of Palestinian people as they attempt to hold on to their lives, their homes, and their loved ones. This particular photo was a high-contrast, sepia-filtered shot of the artist's friend visiting the now-destroyed home of his grandfather. I was so struck by the beauty of the photograph that I just had to have a go at painting it, especially as it was so far out of my comfort zone. P.S. Before anyone says I am stretching the prompt word, the artist genuinely said the word 'Hold' quite often when giving a speech.
Self Portrait - Oil on Canvas Board 2025 (unfinished)
My first attempt at oil painting. This awakened within me a love for this particular medium - one that I had been to intimidated to experiment with up until now.
