Oil on canvas, 20/30 cm. The winter time in Israel inspires me with its soft light. Especialy when it comes to nature. The oil paint helps me to go deeper with the colors, and get into the green leaves and the rainy atmosphere. This oil painting was made about a year ago, and I hope next winter will bring even more inspiration to my art.

Acrylic on paper 26/42 cm. This painting is for my final project, an illustration for a poem by Kadya Molodowsky. I already uploaded a post with another double spread from the same project: “already six years old, with firy curls”: https://artbydina.wordpress.com/2010/05/19/already-six-years-old-with-firy-curls/. I need to make some changes in the project, and the illustration and characteristic of the girl might be different from what I did. Today I am going to take some pictures of a six-year-old girl, for a character study. I hope the project will come out good, and I will upload the results when they will be ready.

Gouache on paper. This piece is from an early course in my studies at Bezalel. The palette of colors is taken from a non related image (some commercial postcard). First thing was to decide which colors would I use, then choose a landscape and paint it with my new colors. I chose the backyard of my mother in law. This color work was a great pleasure for me, and I hope to make more paintings by the same method as soon as I finish my final project, and then of course I’ll add the best to “Dina’s art world”, to share it with you.

oil on canvas 20/30 cm

This is the first painting uploaded to this blog. Oil on canvas 20/35. The classic art of color and light. On the ground lies the dog who lives in the backyard of my mother in law. He is very big and lonely. I found him in this position in a soft warm light of some afternoon and it inspired me to paint this painting. This is one of my favorites.
