Amazing to see how many people visited the orange painting. It was also great to find so many emails with great comments in my mailbox. Thank you very much! Yes I enjoyed that challenge, too. And I think I'll be continuing to paint fruits in the next days. But I won't promise to do it very soon or everyday.
Coming to the painting of today, I can say that when I start struggling to find a subject matter and when it takes too long, I almost always end up painting the studio and the painter (probably myself?). Interesting, isn't it? Bruce Nauman comes to my mind. The video artist of the first generation, he picks scenes from his creative process and records them. The process becomes the work. I love those works. (Also I remember Goya's "Sleep of Reason" and the work I love done after the so-called graving by the legendary video artist Bill Viola. And Ingres' Cherubini and the Muse...). All-and more-depicting artists waiting for the muse or the struggle they have to find the muse.
So here, another composition with an artist in the studio. Remember the blue vase and the bowl, and the orange in front of the window? I had put a part of the easel next to the girl as well but then I liked this large emptiness in the composition. So, enjoy the screaming red.
Dunku portakal o kadar ziyaretci aldi ki diger sitede, anlatamam ve bir suru guzel email (arti burdaki guzel yorumlar). Hepinize cok tesekkurler! Meyva konusuna devam edecegim cunku ben de zevk aldim ama her gun veya hemen yarin yapacagim diye soz vermiyorum.
Konu bulamadigimda, bakiyorum donup dolasip vardigim nokta, ressam ve studyosu. Ressam ben olabilirim, sonucta en cok alisik oldugum figur, saclarim da benziyor. Ama onemli olan o degil, studyo halleri. Kaygili, dusunceli, yogun veya yorgun. Bruce Nauman aklima geliyor. Studyo hallerini ve yaratma surecini konu alarak videolar yapan sanatci. Studyoda aklina bir seyler gelmesini beklerken top saydirisi, kenarda duran kemanla tek ses calisi, son islerinde hayvanlarla dolu studyosunu 24 saat bir suru kamera ile kaydedisi. Sonra tabii Goya'nin gravuru var (Sleep of Reason) ve ona referansla yapilan harika video calismasi, imza: siirsel videolarin buyuk ismi Bill Viola. Bir de Ingres'in Cherubini ve Ilham Perisi aklima geliyor, ilham bekleyen bir besteciyi resmettigi. Bir tane de benden. Studyoda ressam. Gerci resim de yok, resim sehpasi da. Kizin yanina bir sovale (bir kismi) kondurmustum ama sonrasinda o genis bosluk hosuma gitti, sildim. Pencerenin onundeki vazoyu, kaseyi, ve meshur portakali hatirladiniz herhalde! Kirmizi cok bagiriyor, biliyorum. Oyle geldi icimden...

"Poetic Mind"
SOLDDo you think I am a poetic type of painter? My answer is, not really. Generally, I say things directly in my paintings. Lately my colors also tend to turn bold in character. But today, look at this. Some sort of poetry I guess.
Sizin dusunceniz nedir bilmiyorum ama, ben cok da sair ruhlu bir ressam oldugumu sanmiyorum. Resimde soyleyeceklerimi tum netligiyle soyluyorum. Renklerim de hep daha kararli, hep daha parlaga dogru gidiyordu bir suredir. Bugun ama, boyle bir sey cikti birdenbire. Sanki biraz siir kokuyor gibi, ne dersiniz?

"Lost in a Moment"
SOLDThird day, third painting. Tried to finish before evening in order to get good shots under the daylight. I finished but I am still bad at taking photos. Wish you saw the originals... After the playful painting of yesterday, here I am with this simple subject, yet a difficult one. I am enjoying these colors though, the ones who checked my portfolio ("Yapincak's Portfolio" in the sidebar) would realize the change-from grays to whites and colors.
I would like to thank the ones who leave comments on this page for keeping this blog alive. And also thanks for Basak, Atilla, Ulku&Mike, Kardem, Mine, Zeynep, Cagla&Bob and my beloved piano teacher from Bilkent University who is now teaching and continuing his piano career in the States, Namik Sultanov for their mails. Your comments and good wishes mean a lot. They give me the energy and the excitement I need to achieve this task.
Üç gün, üç resim. Zor iş. Yine de zevkli. Beni pes ettirmeyen mesajlarınız aslında! Yo, yine de söylemem gerek, çok keyifle çalışıyorum, bunca aradan sonra büyük zevk. Dünkü coşkulu resimden sonra, bugün biraz sakinlik. Yandaki linki tikladiysaniz (Yapincak's Portfolio) eski resimlerimle aradaki farki fark etmissinizdir. Grilerden sonra, beyazlar ve parlak renkler.

"Waiting for the Muse"
OK it wasn't easy at all. I couldn't start till the afternoon. I didn't know what to do. This break was way too long. Then...I decided to paint my studio with the blank canvas and me hopelessly waiting for the muse. I like the strange architecture of the little window up there. Probably I will be working on it again some time.
The photo quality is bad, I know, I will try to download a better version next time.
Oldu, bir gün bir resim. O kadar uzun ara vermişim ki... Başlangıç çok zor oldu, malzeme eksiklerim de işi biraz daha zorlaştırdı. Konuya karar kılmak ise nerdeyse çıldırttı. En sonunda yeni atölyemi, henüz el değmemiş tualimi ve ilham perilerini beklerken kendimi resmetmeye karar verdim. Arkadaki küçük pencere çok hoşuma gidiyor, belki bir ara onu tekrar çalışırım. Fotoğraf kalitem çok kötü ama iyisini çekmeyi öğreneceğim söz. Hadi devam.
