Apples in the dark '' a la Cezanne ''





Medium watercolour on paper
Sold prints available on demand
Contact Selma.suliman@ g mail,com
It is another painting inspired by Cezanne . Cezanne  invented his own rules of painting . His stroke was bold and defiant  . In defending himself he said ; '' I paint how I see how I feel  - and I have very strong feelings- you also  feel  and see as I do  , but you do not take risks..... I take risks  ... I take risks  ..I have the courage to stand by my opinions .''

Title ; Wild Sunflowers
Pastel on Indian rag
Sold , prints available
Wild sunflowers is my first oil pastel painting on rag . Mixing colors on rag is exciting ,yet not easy . I want you to give me your opinion .
         Sometimes I like to try experimenting  with new mediums . To me oil pastel is an intriguing medium .
It has the feel of oil , while used as a pencil in drawing , which makes me able to control the shape without loosing fluidity .. Instead of paper I used Indian rags  as  canvas .I wanted  the paintings  to be sketches  that I can paint one day . The result is quiet pleasing  .
