This painting belongs to the same collection my "Golden Ivory" belongs to. I still didn't come up with a good name for the collection. The name is the last thing that concerns me this time, though. I believe naming things is a great responsibility and I find it pretty hard to name anything, specially paintings. What concerns me more about this collection though is its becoming an actual collection! I don't want to end up with only these two paintings, just because I don't have enough time or because I never actually finish what I start doing.

Mountain Peak
When I paint I sort of let everything go and feel much better when I'm done. But this wasn't the case this time. Maybe because I didn't spend so much time painting it, it's only 20×30cm big anyway and took me just a couple hours. I would've loved to go bigger, but the painting's for a friend and she asked for this certain size.

Golden Ivory
Just a few months ago I used to apply only thick paint. Water never ended up on one of my paintings, which was pretty stupid. Now because of all the water I use, it takes more than 12 hours for the painting to dry out! 12 hours! That sounds like forever.
(Details: acrylic spray and paint on 30×40cm canvas)
P.S. Acrylic spray paint tastes awful, trust me, I accidentally tried it while preparing the background.

Watercolour Sketches
I painted the first sketch on the 10th of July and I coincidentally painted the second on the 10th of the following month; August. I thought it'd be cool if I painted one on the 10th of each month and since today's the 10th of September, it was time for a new sketch!
The first one was painted in Duke of York Square by the Saatchi in London. It was the first time I ever painted on the street.
The second sketch is of three telephone booths I saw in Trafalger Square in front of the Charing Cross Underground station.
And the third is of an area I spotted in Piccadely Circus using a view finder.

Foolishly polite
I'm not good with words, so I'll just let this painting speak for itself.
I'll tell you this though; being polite is really important, but don't let that prevent you from speaking up.

Blue Mess
I got yelled at for making a mess while painting this, but it was definitely worth it.
This 50×50cm acrylic spray and paint on canvas will soon be hanging in its new home in Cairo.

My second landscape
This is the second landscape I ever painted. I never really knew I could paint landscapes and I defo didn't know it's going to be that much fun.
There's just one thing that I'm kinda worried about; I'm not quite sure if it's okay to paint landscapes using acrylic paint. It's like all landscapes are usually painted using oil colours and they all have this vintage feeling to them, which is not available in my painting. I just hope that's acceptable.. I don't know.
