SkyRed

The two pictures of SkyRed.

1) Completed.

Previously: I took this photo using Photobooth. My signature should be on the right corner. But for some reason it is a reverse picture. Until I figure it out, enjoy this one.

2) SkyRed is on the wall in my office. Oh, the guy is me :)

Bonsai and SkyRed

Hello, hello... Is there anybody out there?!

My painting tools have just arrived. And, I have started painting again! Yay! Here is the first one:

 

Boy. I have a bonsai tree now at home and it is still nameless. I sometimes called it "ufaklik" meaning "the little one". When my tools arrived, I decided to have a painting of it. Well, the painting has a name, Bonsai. So, here it is as in-progress.

This painting is called, SkyRed. Those who are familiar with Terminator may guess the origin. Two hours of work and here is what I have accomplished so far. Work in-progress, of course!

Mimar Sinan Exhibition at Metrocity

I really really like this exhibition. It's very modern and creative. For more info about Mimar Sinan (one of the Ottoman architects), go to wiki.
The exhibition is located at Metrocity, a shopping mall! Good job!

Ipod sea

Another painting on ipod. Thanks drawcast.

I am currently playing with apps on itunes. I found drawcast, a painting application, that allows one to create paintings by touching an ipod/phone/pad screen. Here what I came up with (I couldn't find a way to get a digital copy yet):

Path

 

Yesterday I was watching THE Bob Ross on pbs. Ok, I said, this is the time for me to paint a scene. So, I started this painting and finished it this morning. I like it very much. I hope you like it too.

Red and Clouds

 

This painting reminds me how my friends and I, as kids, were looking at the clouds and guessing what they look like, a dragon, a dog, a rabbit, ...
