No comments.(None needed, I think...)

9" x 12", acrylics and watercolor on Strathmore 300 g paper.

Esoteric Rose

I have just read "Da Vinci's code" when I've painted this portrait... Since I also saw "In the name of the Rose", well, it was inevitable to play a bit with esoterism, especially when the two fire trees behind Rose were forming a V sign...

For dimension and techniques, the usual...

Sabrina

Another portrait, the usual dimensions and techniques ( I should began to experiment more with other materials... but if it works, why fix it?)

This one is sold.

A male nude, Karsten...

Sometimes, our model is a man. This is Karsten, an East-Germany immigrant and a dancer... Nice muscles...

It's a 9" x 12" acrylic ink and watercolor on Strathmore 300 g (acid free, of course) paper. I'll sell it for CA$ 250, shipping and handling included.

Marie de Peru

In fact, Marie (one of my pupils from last year) wasn't FROM Peru but she worked there so many years that, sometimes, she would prefer to speak Spanish instead of her native French québécois...

Exactly the same thing as Yannick... And you see that I'm not afraid of pink! (which could be a very tricky color...)

Yannick from Haiti

A sample of comis-
sioned portrait after a photo... I prefer to work from BW photos because their are giving me the major features of the model but allow me to be creative concerning the color...This one is 9" x 12" acrylic ink and watercolor on 3000g Strathmore paper... Contact me if you wish to comission a portrait. I'm open for business...

Poppies

I've always liked poppies (I don't know about opium, but poppies have a great color!)

My mother-in-law (who's a great lady, even if just a paysant in a village near Sibiu, Romania) do cultivate them for the seeds she puts in cookies and sometimes she breeds some kind of tea, to help her sleep... I took some pictures in her garden and Voilà! here is the acrylic ink watercolor which resulted (one in a series)...

As usual, a 9" x 12" Fabriano watercolor paper... I've sold it already, but a replica could be even better (I am like the vine, gets better in time...)
