Focus

Oil, a study of a focused movement of a master swordsman, a prototype for a larger piece.

The Scent of a Lotus, the Birth of the Sun.

I simple oil painting, easy on the complexities of "dynamic composition", and more focused on a subtle sensation, and meanings from an ancient civilization. An ancient Egyptian would know, in an instant, the meaning of this image, as would most Egyptologists. I tired to convey that, in a simple way. With colour and light as the tools.

Sahara Cave

Another oil speed painting, lots of fun. The way light flows in the desert, and saturates is amazing. I tired to study how that light works when it is contained.

Horus Speedpainting

Oil. A quick, and I mean really quick, speed painting of Horus.

Tree of Light

Oil. Just a study of the light flowing through a tree in a garden at the edge of the desert in Egypt.

Loving Life on the Mara

Happy Sufi

This is another life sketch at the same Sufi gathering in Cairo as the previous post. This old man was so enjoying the singing and poetic recitations, that he proceeded to include some subtle dance most to interpret the music.
