I will be posting more of these metascapes in the future, These landscapes are called metascapes instead becase the clean straight lines are metaphor for simplicity where I wish that life was as simple as straight a line but it is not; this is where the foliage comes  which represents the busy, confused, hectic and not so peacefull life of ours. This piece is square therefore the bottom part is missing and I will post it later.
The series is called "I wish".

I haven't posted in a while although I have been painting a lot and the reason bhind it is that in summer time I go out and paint and by the time I get back the sun had set and ambient light is too low for me to take pics and sometimes its just laziness. Hopefully I will be posting more frequently.
    This painting is a larger version of a smaller quick painting I did on masonite but with some changes.

Last friday I went out and painted this landscape so I guess this is a plein-air painting although this landscape don't exist (joking about the plien-air). You won't find mountains in Toronto. Wheat field

landscape with row of cypress

   This landscape once again was started last year and was completed on the weekend (finished?). Camera didn't capture the whole painting specially from the sides, the tree is whole. And we have a wheatfield again.

landscape done

oil on canvas

I started this landscape in 2011 and never finished it. It was hanging on the wall close to ceiling in the corner (poor thing). So I picked it up, dressed it and here it is. Maybe I will dress it up a little more. maybe. I have another one from last year and it will done by tomorrow

This landscape painting is like my room with lot of clutter. I usually don't do paintings that are too busy but if you keep doing the same things over and over again  it gets boring.

There was some more paint left over from the last sitting so here it is.

O.k. so this one looks like the last one (colors that is), the reason is that  when I paint two or three paintings in a day I use the left over paints from the last sitting so that I wouldn't waste paint.

landscape on board #2

I guess I am back to  doing painting a day or in two hours in this case. Actually I did finish two
(not in two hours); the other needs a little touch-up here and there; I will post it tomorrow.

landscape with clouds

Lot of my landscape paintings have these bright white button clouds; they start form

far away and as they come closer they get bigger until the very biggest one is standing

on the top.

I could not help uploading another of wheatfield landscape and I promise this will be
the last one for a while.

Landscape oil paintings on small boards are always fun because I can work fast
and don't have to worry about making mistakes for they are very cheap. Paints
gives out wonderfull shine to the painting. I would recomends to the beginners
that they start with boards if money is the issue.

I will post the rest of wheatfields later. This is the new one
I did over the weekend.

Sometimes the pictures don't come out the way they are being painted. The sky in this painting is  really little darker than what you see here.

wheatfield II

5x7inches

Like I said on my last post; I did many wheatfield  paintings and I will continue posting them on my next post.
Regarding Vicent van Gogh (continued from the last post), if he was crazy as everyone says then how is it that he did great paintings. He was fluent in Dutch, French, German and English. His letterwritings were very thoughtfull and insightfull. If he was living in these times I am sure he would have had treatment for whatever he suffered from.
More wheatfield on the next post.

After watching lots and lots of  Vincent van Gogh  (big fan of his work) documentaries I couldn't stop painting wheatfieds. You can watch some on youtube; the good ones are "Power of art" BBC,
" Life of a masterpiece" is about his sunflower painting. There was also a piece on CBS 60minutes about his death that he did not commit suicide but was accidentally shot by some kids. If you are a fan please check these out.
For Canadians there is good news, some of van Goghs paintings are coming to National gallery in Ottawa in May (not sure about the date) please checkout the website for more information. I personally won't miss this. Opportunity of a lifetime so to speak.
Another good news for Picasso lovers. AGO (in Toronto) will have Picassos work starting in May, please check for date. Won't miss this one either although not a big fan. People ask me that why go to the galleries when there is web. I used to think the same until I saw the Courtald collection at the AGO. I just stood there in aw. First word that came out was "wow". Watching a painting on the screen is not the same as as looking at it in front of  you. I just couldn't leave the gallery but too bad I had to otherwise they would have charged me for loiterring. Anyway, don't miss the van Gogh.

Sometimes you do a painting and people would say "nice painting but what is it?" This is one those paintings. Its an elephant; its ear is to the right and trunk on the left side. Tusk is colored yellow, the rest is for you to guess.

the castle

I don't do potraits; the reason is I am not very good at it. Olga was a character

from Kafkas "the castle". She and Ks assistants were the only people I could picture in my head, By

the way the book took me very very long time to finish. I read his "metamorphosis" first, I liked it and then I  tried "the castle" and eeehhh.
