Olive tree

olive080921

There are so many olive trees in Jordan. This one is the one planted inside the compound of the flat I've stayed in. Since I sketched this in the sun, some of OPs melted and it was hard to handle (ex. see the black in the shadow). On the 21st of September, 2008. This date was my birthday. I never thought of spending my birthday in Jordan... :)

It's been long since I last updated this blog... I was travelling Jordan in later half of September for another archaeological project that I am involved in. This is a view from a hotel room in Amman. I sketched this sitting on a bed looking out of the window on the 27th of September, 2008.

Tilapias and catfishes

I visited a fishing village named Kusa located beside the Lake Victoria. These fishes were just landed when I had visited. I painted this after getting back to the hotel in Kisumu referring to a photograph. It was on the 23rd of August, 2008.

Sunset in Kisumu

kisumu080821

I'm back from Kenya. I stayed in Kisumu, western Kenya for a couple of weeks. Kisumu is located at eastern end of Lake Victoria, and is famous for its beautiful sunset. Unfortunately, it rained everyday (usually, this is a dry season but... I don't know why) and I could see beautiful flaming sunset only one day during my stay. Now, this is the one I painted at the time! It was the 21st of August, 2008. Facing to the central Kisumu —the tower is the broadcasting tower.
