An orignal painting for a gift

Monday blog post #90

I just made a short break to write my Monday blog post while I left one of the paintings to dry so I can continue with it...
It is a bit stressful as I need to finish 6 more custom ordered paintings and few more smaller things in less then a week but I am looking forward to hear happy thoughts and smiley faces when people receive them as a gift.
It is great that the weather in Doha is nice so I can be at my balcony, enjoying the sun and light. It is a huge difference painting in a good daylight and painting in my studio when it's dark outside :(

Here are two of my recent custom ordered paintings:

Last week I participated in two events:
Ritz-Carlton's Christmas Tree Lightning Ceremony and Little Christmas Market and MIA Park Bazaar.
Both events were outdoor and they were really nice. I liked the atmosphere, the weather and getting feedback on my work.

Thank you all for coming!!!


Here are few photos:

I presented them at the Doha Mums Summer Market on Saturday, 11th May. They got a really cute comments :)

The market was great, lots of visitors going trough the doors from 11am to 4 pm without a break. I barely managed to eat something. This was the last event before the summer as we, who don't have a 9-5 job leaving Doha for 1-2 months :)
Now I'm focusing on your custom orders and then summer break in June!!!!
