The Cyclists

It is incredible how bicycles can have as much comical character as the people who ride them. It reminds me of that brilliant scene in Jacques Tati's 1970's film "Trafic", in which every driver sitting in traffic has the attributes of his/her automobile.

As long as I can remember I have always wanted to live in a different era. Perhaps during the heyday of Federico Fellini's career, like a misplaced character from one of his films, leading a very 8 1/2 life. In that spirit, I have been experimenting of late with a Holga camera given to me & my husband by one incredibly talented photographer. Or as I like to call it, my Russian Spy Camera. I adore the timeless & antiquated quality of the photos...

In a dark corner of the bazaar in Old Jaffa, I discovered a Persian Jewish man selling beautiful antiques from Isfahan. Beautifully eye-catching colour...(I bought the yellow one).

p.s. A million thanks to Krystuccia for making me artist of the week at her brilliant blog!

speckled horse patina

What is it about badly drawn art on walls that just charms me half to death? It's like alchemy, perhaps I will never fully understand it. I discovered this whimsical horse, & bearded man (on the far left) today while exploring Old Akka.

sunny days

Constantly seeking inspiration in these beautiful summer days, & taking many holga photos of the vistas! Time for some gelato...

bon voyage!

Summer is here with a ciao! bang! I'm roaming the Mediterranean & enjoying it intensely. Here is a closeup of a recent painting I did, I hope you are enjoying yourself like they are! Hopefully on a golden tandem...
