Peñón de Ifach

20 x 20 cm

Wow! I’m on fire! Ahah 2 paintings in 3 days??! I can’t believe it myself.

I made this one in 1 hour or so, which is pretty fast. It’s my first oil pastel painting on canvas. I chose a small one because I just wanted to give it a shot. It’s not my best work but it’s really special to me. This rock is called el Peñón de Ifach. It’s located in Calpe, Spain (near Alicante), where I used to spend all my summer holidays as a child. Brings back lots of memories.

Since I started working with oil pastels, it’s like I can’t get back to watercolor anymore. I just love their vibrant colors and waxy texture.

Dreams of Summer

It’s been a while since my last blog… I haven’t had time to paint for almost 2 weeks… Yes, it’s a little frustrating to me. But I’m gonna take some time to relax and paint something new this week end. In the mean time, here’s a watercolor I made last year. Guadeloupe is such a beautiful island. I want to live there someday… Unlike a lot of people, I don’t like Fall… it means Winter’s coming and I H.A.T.E cold weather.

Summer, I miss you already…
