"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.

"Cafe Red"

SOLD

Do you think he is ever gonna show up? Or maybe she doesn't even wait for him any more. Had to finish it quick. I have 10 guests for dinner tonight! So up to the kitchen. I like this color. Wish I were having a drink in the Cafe Red...
Kirmiziyi yiyecektim neredeyse bugun. Son dakikada tuvalde kullanmaya karar verdim! Aksam yemege on kisi bekliyorum. Kaciyorum...

"Composition with Mirrors"

SOLD

So this is the painting of today. Just finished, no good light out there. So please come back tomorrow for a better view. This is new for me, I've become very much interested in mirrors lately. But not necessarily the repetitive images they create; but their relationship with the walls, other architectural elements seen through the glass and etc.

Last week, the painting I enjoyed the most was the "Interior" of Thursday 23rd. Mirrors again. But: Scientific approach is not necessary. Because I play around for the needs of the composition, the colors and the likes. So you can play your own game too. Try to find out the scientific rights and wrongs.

This is the secret place of the ladies, the hairdresser's. No details though. I like it this way. Hope you like it too.

Bugunun resmi. Aynalar ilgimi cekiyor son zamanlarda. Gecen haftanin en zevk aldigim resmi bana gore "Interior"di-23 kasim resmi. Bu resim de o yaklasimin devami sayilabilir. Bir kuafor salonu, iki arkadas, yapilan saclar, kuaforle paylasilan hayat gercekleri... Ilham bir kac hafta once evlenen canim kuzenim Meltem'in dugun oncesi hazirliklarindan.

Benim aynalarimda fiziki gercekler aramayin. Cunku kafama ve resimsel ihtiyaclarima gore sekillendiriyorum aynada gormek istediklerimi. Genelde tekrar eden imgeler degil ilgimi ceken, aynanin diger yapisal elemanlarla ilgisi mesela, ya da ele verdigi mimari formlarin yarattigi geometrik olusumlar.

Detay yok, boyle birakmak istedim ve sevdim, umarim siz de seversiniz.

"Interior with Mirrors"

$100
oil painting on canvas, 7"x9.5" (18x24 cm)

Today I did some shopping, bought new brushes, paints and new medium. After shopping I went to some place to have some snacks. So this painting is after the sketch I did there. New features added :)

Kadıköy'de bir sürü boya, yağ ve fırça aldım. Niyetim tuali değiştirmekti ama istediğim şeyleri bulamadım. Ne istediğimi de pek bilmiyorum. Bildiğim herkesin bunları kendi yaptığı, ama bir de bununla uğraşırsam gerçekten pilim bitecek. Bundan sonra duralitin üzerine denemek istiyorum, detaylar daha kolay işlenebilecek zannedersem böylelikle, fırça akışı da kendini gösterecek. Artık gelecek haftaya... Alışverişten sonra bir şeyler atıştırmak için bir yere girdim, orda da bu resme ilk adım olacak bir eskiz yaptım. Çok şey eledim, çok şey ekledim, bu resim çıktı. Sevdim.
