Trip to the North

Last weekend we had a short trip to the North. Its always relaxing - change of the landscape, a lot of nature and some sketching, of course ;)
I did this sketch at the entrance to Fassuta - Arabic Christian village in Galilee, decorated for Christmas.

 

 Series of sketches done during our dinner:

barmen telling us the story of his life

These two paintings were done in Haifa on our way back. I miss painting!

Emotional balance - illustrations for "Einayim"

Here are the illustrations I did for the last "Einayim" issue, which theme was "balance". The story was about finding your emotional balance, very important subject for young children to deal with, I think.

I wanted to try a different technique, so these illustrations done with acrylic on grey cardboard.

Jaffa - inside and outside.

Here are two sketches that I did today in Jaffa.
First one - at "Puah" - trendy coffee shop at Flea Market, there is always busy inside.

Second one - at one of Jaffa's streets. This colorful house captured my attention and I stopped my car on my way home to sketch it.

Jaffa is a perfect place for sketchers - you can find stories everywhere!
