Impressionist Night...

 
Strange (victorian?) lamp light, leafless trees, orange glow in the air. A surreal impressionist vision of somewhere long ago and far away...

Originally painted with oil pastel on black paper, then colors were adjusted digitally.

Strange writings are seen through hot and dusty background. Thick and thin acrylic brushstrokes, the original painting was approximately 50 x 40 cm, on board (sold). 

Old Painting. New print:

I did this from our appartment window in Alexandria, in 2000 or 1999, looking towards Potomac river. Soft pastel on paper. The original painting is sold (the size was about A4).

Abstract Roses 3

I can't stant wasting anything, so when I have some acrylic paint left on my palette I would do some doodles. This is one of the examples (The Fight in the same gallery is another one). After selling the original work (acrylic and ink pen on cardboard) I did several digital versions, varing the colors. Hence the number 3.
