The tallest burger
Sunday, February 7th, 2010Rainy day
Saturday, February 6th, 2010A new daily painting for today – and a break from working on the very large (2 x 2 m!) Brick Lane piece. Everyone is pretty tired of bundling up before leaving for outside, and getting drenched in icy rain. Let there be sunshine this coming weekend!

Roma at 3
Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010I’ve realized I had this painting finished for some time now and have not gotten a chance to post it. It’s one of my biggish portraits, I am getting more comfortable with this format. The little guy was very hard to settle down though. My tricks included cartoons on a laptop perched at the back of my easel and getting him to draw me in return.
Meanwhile I’ve been regularly posting one new watercolor a day on Etsy, see the thumbnails below.

Period interior in red
Wednesday, January 13th, 2010I can’t pinpoint what is that gives the scene most comfort: the red chair cushions, the wooden panelling or the marble mantelpiece, but I so imagine myself in that room right now sipping a cup of tea with something sweet to eat with it.

A drawing room at 1830
Tuesday, January 12th, 2010Another fantastic drawing room from the Geffrye museum installation. Moody blue colour scheme attracted me here. The information on the set states that the drawing room was mostly used for meeting guests, reading, playing music and making art – my kind of place in the house!
Even though I painted it, I have no idea what is that framed board on a pole standing behind the chair on the left. Any ideas from English historic interior connoisseurs?

At home at 1890
Monday, January 11th, 2010Made a rewarding trip to the Geffrye museum this weekend. As a result – new observations of English period interior . I plan on about four more of similar paintings this week because the bad weather and a cold does not allow me to get outside.

Chiostro del Bramante II
Thursday, January 7th, 2010This beautiful building houses a premier Roman art gallery Dart. This month it has on show the works of Boldini and his fellow Italians in Rome during the Impressionist period. I particularly loved his work because he was clearly very influenced by John Singer Sargent and Ernest Messonier.
