Here it comes

Here it comes!
This painting follows the footsteps of the previous two: Light'14 and Walk the walk. Similar to them, it was completed at night under very dim light.
Enjoy!

Spaciousness - The first painting of the third exodus

Spaciousness is my  first painting of the third time living abroad more than a year. I just completed it. Look at the colors!

Dream

At the verge of taking, perhaps, radical steps in my life, here is my dream:

Red tree

So you like minimalism, she said. Not in linguistics, though, I replied.

Snow and Trees

It finally snowed in Istanbul. So, as you might have guessed, I started working on a painting with regard to snow. Trees are wonderful when snowed, you know.

Recently, I have been going through some photos at the National Geographic website. This painting is very much influenced by a photo over there.

Enjoy!

Waves

The weather had been surprisingly good until Friday. It was around 10C (50F). Then, winter finally came. Apparently, it snowed a bit but I didn't see any snow in Sile. What I felt and saw is the wind, a bit cold 4C (35-40F), and amazing waves at the Black Sea.
While watching the waves from my balcony, I decided to paint it online -- while watching them. I did it, I guess. Though, my intention was a bit different than what I had at the end. Enjoy!

Seclusion

Let me say this, it was a wonderful day while I was working on this painting, Seclusion. I was listening to the Battlestar Galactica soundtrack, which is fantastic. Seclusion is neither related to the show nor the music, though.

When I started working on the composition, I was planning to have a very dark background, a black tree, a person sitting, and a fire. The fire was going to be the only light source with the exception of stars here and there. When the figures began to emerge, I wanted to receive Beril's ideas about it. Then, I showed it to her on gtalk and skype. She couldn't see the figures clearly. The tree, for instance, was so dark.

Yesterday night, then, I started working on the tree from scratch. I wish to have it luminous. I hope I could give that impression. Enjoy!

Here are some photos including close-ups.

ps. From my facebook status: "I have been listening to Battlestar Galactica soundtrack while painting called 'Seclusion'... loved it... photos will be uploaded tomorrow :P"

Trees

Some of you may have already realized that I like trees. My wife, Beril, recently shared a beautiful photo of sky with stars and trees. That photo provided me a base to work on. No, this painting is not a copy of the photo - you can check it here. It took me two days to complete Trees.

I think and I hope Beril likes this painting.

I am adding two photos of Trees. The second one is from a side angle to get rid of some reflections.

The light in darkness

I was about to name this painting as the moon, the sea, and the darkness, but changed my mind and made it light in darkness. Then, I googled this phrase which resulted in many hits such as a light in the darkness,  the light in my darkness, and so on. Should I name it a light in your darkness :)
Anyways, I didn't work on this painting in a depressive mood but in a hyperactive mood. Not manic, though. I hope you can see some stars here and there in the painting. I also hope you enjoy to see reflections of the moonlight.

Dark Tower

I know I know there is no tower in this painting. It just reminds me Stephen King's Dark Tower, the only books I have read by that author. That's all.
