"The Market Place"

SOLD

I started this "a-painting-a-day" practice on Nov.20th. Four weeks done already; 20 paintings, no days skipped. Some of them were more popular than the others. I did this painting for the ones who kept saying "The Bazaar" was their favorite. It's always great to play with the colors. So enjoy the variation.

"Her-gun-bir-resim"e 20 Kasimda basladim. Yirmi resimle dort hafta geride kaldi bile, tek gun atlamadan. Bazi resimlerim bazilarindan daha populer oldu. "The Bazaar" bunlardan biriydi, tekrar tekrar guzel emailler aldim resim hakkinda. Sevenlerine, simdi de bir varyasyonu. Renklerle oynamak her zaman buyuk zevk. Oynadim...

"Orange on a Black Surface"

SOLD

So I did it too. Today I also joined to the crew of painters interested in fruit and food as a theme in their daily work. Never thought I was gonna do this. I am a person who is fond of human figures in her artwork. But lately I was following the growing demand for fruits in the art market. Surprisingly enough, surfing the artists' blogs or when visiting the dailypainters.com, I also enjoyed the subject so much lately. Same subject matter with different eyes, sensibilities and styles. Exciting.

It happened like this: Almost everday I get up craving for a certain color. I know it's strange. Scroll down to the previous paintings to see what I mean. Today it was orange. I had to use it, no choice. Sketched for compositions of interiors with human figures as usual, orange (color) became a couch, a sweat-shirt, a primary color of the light shining on a face... But all of a sudden I said, OK this is the day. Where else can you find an orange more than an orange? So here is it, hope you like it. (Black surface is my piano)

Sonunda ben de meyve-sebze cizen ressamlar kervanina katildim. Inanilir gibi degil. Resimlerinde insan figurunden ayrilmayan biri olarak belki de yapacagim en son seydi. Oldu. Son zamanlarda resim piyasasinda bu temaya olan ilgiyi saskin bakislarla izliyordum. Ama isin daha ilginc yani, dolastigim sitelerdeki calismalari ya da dailypainters.com'daki yanyana tekrar eden benzer temali eserleri de zevkle takibediyorum. Yani bir bakiyorsunuz, bes tane elma yanyana, hepsi ayri ressamdan! O kadar ilginc ki, her biri baska goruyor, baska hissediyor, farkli firca darbeleriyle yansitiyor...
Soyle oldu. Her sabah oldugu gibi bu sabah da bir renge "aserirken" uyandim: Turuncu! Atolyeye gittigimde karalamaya basladim, turuncu birinde bir koltuk oldu, birinde bir kazaga yansidi, birinde de yuze yansiyan isiktaki yogun renk oluverdi. Ama sonra bir an..."portakal" dedim, doganin en turuncu renginden daha iyi ne care olabilirdi bu renk acligina? Ilk "portakal" resmim iste boyle dogdu. Umarim begenirsiniz. Durdugu yuzey piyanomun ustu bu arada.

Feeling a bit sick today, couldn't spend long hours at the easel, colors were there to heal and to refresh myself.

Yorgun ve hasta gibiyim. Hizli bir yagliboya resim. Kendimi iyilestirmek ve tazelemek icin renklere daldim...

"The Bazaar"

SOLD

Last summer we went to Alacati, the charming village near Cesme. The bazaar we visited was a real marvel for a painter with its big colorful umbrellas and the fresh fruit and vegetables of all sorts. After the painting I did yesterday, I realized I wanted to continue with the "whites". So no fruits in this little painting, but a lot of white variations finding their way between the colorful panaroma of the umbrellas. And sharp shadows in the service of the "whites"-or the lights.

Geçen yaz Babylon'un açılışı için Alaçatı'daydık. Harika bir yer, gerçek bir sürprizdi benim için! Pazarı ise daha o zaman bugünün hayalini kurdurmuştu. Renkli şemsiyeler ve kızgın Ege güneşinin keskin ışık-gölge oyunları. Belki bir gün aynı konuyla ilgili daha büyük bir çalışma daha yaparım. Beyazlarla oynamak hoşuma gidiyor.
