"Flowers in the Red Vase"

SOLD
Continuing with the flowers. I don't remember when I did my last flower painting, so many years ago-then yesterday, now today. I must say I really enjoyed that. It's been weeks that I haven't been to my studio. Instead, I try to paint at home. Oh, in a ridiculous condition. And here at home, "what to paint?" question leaves me almost without any answer. I must consider myself maybe lucky considering that I have a husband who loves-well at least that's the impression I got- bringing me flowers. So thanks to him and to the carnations for giving me the inspiration.

Yine cicek. En son ne zaman bu konuyu calistigimi hatirlamiyorum bile, yillar sonra dun ve bugun... Zevk aldim aslinda. Haftalardir atolyeme gidemiyorum, evde ise komik pozisyonlarda calisiyorum. Evde malzeme coktur, konuda sikinti cekmem derken, gunlerdir konu bulmakta neler cektigimi anlatamam! Neyse ki cicekleri seven bir es ve guzel cicekler imdadima yetisti.

"Tabletalk"

SOLD
Sorry for the 4-day break in my routine. Sometimes you just cannot fix things quickly. But I am back. Maiden's Tower again. This time the interior. A cup coffee in a winter morning, nice view, nice chat.

Bir sure -mecburi- rutinden ayrildim. Umarim her sey yolunda gider de, hergun1resim'e hakettigi sekilde devam ederim yine. Bir kez daha Kiz Kulesi. Bu sefer ici. Bir kis sabahinda sicak bir kahve, sicak bir sohbet.

"Maiden's Tower"

SOLD

When I am practising the piano, I see the Maiden's Tower reflecting on the shiny surface of my piano. Wonderful to enjoy that view. I never thought painting it though. Don't know why. Maybe because I was not fond of landscapes or cityscapes as much as the figure paintings-before. Or maybe it felt kinda too touristic as a subject matter.

We were there -for the first time- yesterday. It took only took five min.s maybe less by boat. We went up to see the Bosphorus panorama first, beautiful. Then we had a great lunch at the first floor restaurant. I really enjoyed the interior. It had sharp lights coming in from tiny windows and creating dramatic Rembrandt effects inside. It was a lovely day, romantic, too. Then...today I found myself doing the last thing I could expect, painting the Maiden's Tower.

Piyano calisirken piyanoma yansiyan manzara Kiz Kulesi. Seyrine doyulmaz bir manzara, piyanoyla gecirilen daha uzun saatler. Ama hic bir zaman resmini yapmayi dusunmedigim bir konu ayni zamanda. Belki manzara resmine cok da merakli olmadigim icin-onceden; ya da belki konu olarak cok turistik geldigi icin bana. Bilinmez.

Haftasonu gittik Kiz Kulesi'ne, ilk kez! Tekneyle kisa bir yolculuk, girer girmez ust kat, harika bir manzara. Sonra asagida harika bir yemek. Kucuk pencerelerden gelen isik, icerde oyle dramatik efektler yaratiyordu ki, bayildim. Cok guzel bir gundu, romantika. Ve sonra, iste bugun, Kiz Kulesi'ni yaparken buldum kendimi.

"The Tram"

SOLD

After a couple of days without any paintings done, here I am, back at work. First of all, I wish you all the best for the new year. I was in Ankara in the new year's eve. It was freezing there! Today we arrived in Istanbul and such a warm lovely winter day here. So another Istanbul painting. The tram in Kadikoy (Chalcedon) and a man breathing fresh winter air, enjoying the good weather. Done on oval board. A different experience for me.

Bayram, yilbasi, yolculuk, ziyaret derken resimsiz gecen bir kac gunun ardindan tekrar rutine donuyorum. Yilbasini Ankara'daydik, sevdigim sehir ama buzz gibiydi. Istanbul ise harika, sicacik surpriz bir kis havasi karsiladi bizi bugun. O zaman bir tramvay, Kadikoy-Moda hatti. Bankta tatli-serin kis havasini icine ceken bir adam. Oval tual. Her zamankinden biraz daha buyuk bir ebat (24x30), ilk defa oval yuzeye resim yaptim.

Kutlayamamistim. Kutluyorum: Harika bir yil gecirin, saglikli, mutlu, huzurlu...
