People keep telling me to paint still life and flowers, here is an attempt:)

Oil on 22x30 inch boxed canvas.

Big paintings

The big paintings always make bigger impression- I hope this one will do too:)

This is the biggest painting I worked on so far- 120x90cm (36x48 inches). Oil on boxed canvas.

Fragment of the painting

This is going to be a surprise present, so I can't post a full photo. Painting is still in progress. and when it is going to be finished and presented to the lucky person, I may acquire rights to post it online.

Happy paintings!

Newly married for 25 years

:) This is a commission I was asked to paint as a present for a 25th wedding anniversary. Here You can see both: the original photo and the photo of the painting. It was somewhat a challenge to do colors in the painting as the 25 years old photo does not the same detail as the 16 mega pixel digital photo... but it definitely was fun:) I really hope that the couple depicted have a great marriage and likes the painting:).
