Façade of a building at Petra

I went to PPNB sites named Beida and Basta near my study site. Petra, the famous archaeological site, is located near Beida so I visited there for only a couple of hours, though. This was on the 24th of September, 2008.

I'm travelling Syria. I stayed at Damascus for one night and moved to Ar-raqqa. I'm connecting to the net from a cybercafe in Ar-raqqa. I have painted this sketch in the morning before I leave Damuscus, 6th November, 2007.

Colonial house in Nairobi

jspsnairobi020421

Getting back to the old days... this is one of my first OP paintings. I started oil pastels in Kenya because I couldn't carry oil painting tools from Japan. This house is the office building I worked for, and partly the accommodation as well —I lived there around a year in this house.
I used only very cheap hard oil pastels on the pencil draft. Oh, the way I paint has changed a lot. I cannot get back to the way I did like this... now I am used to use soft oil pastels like Senneliers and Holbeins. This work was painted on the 21st of April, 2002.
