"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.

Merhaba, bence bu harika olmuş ama sanırım senin aklında başka renk ler var. O renklere göre de bir tane kız kulesi yapabilirsin. Mahsuruda yok...
Seviliyorsunuz tamam mı!!!!!
