2011Apr 15tags: brooklyn | ink | Ira | Kuretake | streetBrooklyn, view from the car. I used 2 inks and little help from Kuretake pens for bits of color. Ink spreads on old paper a bit uncontrollable. Interesting that every piece of paper like wall behaves differently, even it seems the same.

2011Apr 11tags: aunt | card | ink | IraBirthday card for my aunt. (In reality she is my mother’s aunt). I wrote nice text inside, outlined letters. She was very happy. She still have my paintings of winter I sent her many years ago. One very famous artist of the beginning of 20 century drew her and her family portraits. Used ink I mixed myself.

2011Apr 10tags: ink | Ira | Kuretake | menagerie | pizzaEvening meal and menagerie. I drew pizza, (pretty good one, I read about it first on Sheepshead Bites and then decided to try it) and put in a shadow under the table my little menagerie. They didn’t really sit there together all the time, but they were lurking here there, hoping we may drop something really delicious, which smelled so good.
I used 2 inks and few Kuretake pens.

2011Apr 2tags: alone | Diner | H20 | Ira | sepiaAnother inking about Selena’s Diner near Hunter, NY. I used Sepia ink and Kuretake H20 on aged WC paper and a little bit of my old Shin-Gansai watercolor set from Holbein for the window scene. How lonely we are, but still so happy.

2011Mar 30tags: Ira | Kuretake H20 | portrait | sepia | Shlomo CarlebachShlomo Carlebach, known as The Singing Rabbi. I always have his CD in the car, whenever I feel sad or hurt, I listen to his voice, sometimes without words, it has sort of healing power, his love for people. So I drew portrait, as I admire people who made a difference. Used Sepia ink and Kuretake H20.
