Couple of Roses

The second painting was inspired after visiting an art gallery in the Old City of Jerusalem. I like the way the background complements the composition. I'm consciously focusing on the backgrounds of my paintings right now, since I believe that having an interesting background is an important way to help a beginner create a successful painting. Also done in acrylic on 40 x 50 cm canvas.

A Collaborative Drawing

Eppy, my husband, and I did this one together, with soft pastels on standard paper. We didn't plan it at all, just decided on the theme of marriage. It was really fun to build on each other's ideas and see the unexpected outcome.
