My son's knit cap

This is a winter knit cap as a gift from my parents to my son. Sketched it on the 19th of December, 2009. Now the year 2009 is ending... hope I can keep painting and updating this weblog next year, too.

Stone tool

lithic091119

This is a stone tool (or a fragment?) found at a tell in Syria. I'm not a specialist on the stone tools so I can't identify the age from this. It's impossible to carry these cultural properties then I returned them back to the site next day. Sketched on the 19th of November, 2009.

Paprika spices

I bought some Arabian spices at the souk in Old Damascus. This is one of the spices—paprika. I sketched this bag of paprika in a hotel room on that day, the 23rd of November, 2009.

Foggy Ar-Raqqa town

raqqa091120

It's been long since I last updated this weblog.... I travelled Syria again in November and now spending extraordinarily busy December now. :(
I stayed in Ar-Raqqa town as every time I visit Syria for my research project. Surprisingly it was foggy in the morning in this dusty dry town. Maybe this is because of the high relative humidity caused by a rapid decline of temperature. I sketched this foggy view at the hotel restaurant on the 20th of November, 2009.
