Autumn Central Park
















8"x10", canvas on board

I arrived at the park at around 3 o'clock, but light was disappearing because of the buildings and the trees. I rushed to paint the first for 2 hours and run down to the second one but the sun was setting and everything was in a dark shade. I have to leave home a little early that day.
Next week will be the last week to paint the beautiful autumn scenes of the park.

Artist's wife 2 revised






I changed some of the pose of her hand and the shadow colors of the dress for a more natural look. I took advantage of the fact that the model is my wife so I can ask for extra session for completion.

Artist's wife 2




















24"x30" oil on canvas.
The model who was supposed to come on Sunday didn't make it because he was sick this morning so I asked my wife again to pose for our group. She did a very good pose and was very patient even though the light was so low that her eyes were very tired during modeling.
The ghost light setting looks unique for painting. I enjoyed it.

Artist's wife


22"x28" Oil on canvas.

I was not supposed to paint her today, but the model, Eva, was too late so that I cancelled the session with her and asked my wife, Helena, to do modeling. She knows how to pose very well.

I was happy to paint her and hold her hostage until I complete it.

Eva, Broadway dancer


24"x30" Oil on canvas.

Eva


The model, Eva, was from Istanbul, Turkey and used to be a dancer at Broadway in Manhattan.
She knew how to make artistic poses. She was a good model for studying colors and shape.
I am going to finish this painting next session.
