Snowi's Garden

And here is Snowi - officially Shael Hayit Snowfox. He is a gorgeous white Turkish Angora with gooseberry green eyes.

This is a gouache painting on board.

Brigitte, Snowi's Purrson, told that Snowi loves to sit in the garden in front of the ferns and so I painted those behind Snowi. Brigitte loves poppies, so I painted those on the right. In the back there is a Moroccan window grille- And the frame is inspired by a Victorian floral frame.

Tutankhamon's Golden Mask

This must be one of world's most famous objects - the golden mask of Tutankhamon. This oil painting took me 100 hours to finish - the right to use the reference photo for this painting was kindly given by Werner Forman Archives.

Surrender

This is a big gouache angel painting I made at the time of a loved one's illness - it reflects surrender to the fate, giving in and trusting in what ever comes...

This painting is for sale.


Calling

Here is a big scratchboard work - 1 m wide. It is of an Arab stallion neighing. This is done by scratching surface with a surgeon's knife - thousands and thousands of tiny marks...

This work is for sale.


Fire

Here is a big oil painting (1m tall) of a fiery Arab horse galloping towards you. It is done with grisaille techniqy - first a grey colored underpainting was made, and ofn top of that dozens of thin layers of color that show the underpainting beneath.

As a comparison, After the Storm was painted directly with color.

This painting is for sale.
