He Walked Through the Fields

A subject that was suggested by Heleni in our workshop ---- He Walked Through the Fields --- based on the book by Moshe Shamir. I took the subject not from the book but literally.  These paintings where done from photos of the fields near Kiryat Gat  and  Hamei Yoav , our favorite spa.

Both paintings done in oils on red toned wrapped canvas 50 x 70 cm

Concept Challenge December 2013

In our art workshop our mentor,Heleni, gives out special challenges to work on our own and bring in for a group critique.  This challenge was something special.... working in pairs we were to adopt a concept, technique or materials from our partners and work them into a painting.

This painting done on cardboard with pasted newsprint was inspired by my artist companion Traudi.  I love her freedom of color, cut paper creations and her use of simple materials.

These paintings also based on a photo of my grandson, Noam, standing before a wall of postal boxes in Crete.  Reference photo taken by son-in-law Shabtai this past Sukkot on the island of Crete.
