Ettie

My friend Ettie celebrated her birthday on Sunday November 15th. We had a small party at a friend's house in Mevaseret on Friday 11/13/15.

I've decided to make two paintings for her, one is her portrait the way she looks today, done in watercolor. The other one is a drawing. In the charcoal drawing I was trying to bring her back to her 20's, using my imagination, I think I didn't succeed in creating likeness from the past.

A month ago painting a head statue

While I was staying in my brother's apt in Yaffo, I decided to paint the head statue he purchased a while ago. The head was done by the artist sculpter Abraham Melnikov the one who did The famous Roaring Lion standing in Tel Hai memorial in Upper Galilee Israel.
I fiinished working on it in my studio.

Added to Etsy

Yesterday I worked on 2 drawings I did about 6 months ago, and I added it to Etsy.
I love those drawings of Adam, I hope more people will love them...
