#08 Bird of Paradise

So, it's been a long time since I have posted a painting, I guess I am really not good at keeping a blog updated... During all this time I have been away discovering the beauty of Malta, from which many paintings are sure to follow as I have been sketching a lot while on this mediterranean island. So be sure to come and check out this page soon to see all the beauties (or at least some of them!) Malta has to offer!

For now, here's a painting from a photo I took in Bundaberg, Australia a few years back. Birds of Paradise are such beautiful flowers, the only problem is huge and ugly spiders seem to love them as much as I do!

#04 Song Thrush

I spotted this bird out of my window this morning. There were actually several of them looking for food. Birds are one of my favorite subjects to paint so I'll probably be painting a lot of them. I'll actually be painting more of this song thrush the next few days as it was striking heaps of great poses for me to photograph!

#03 Bagpipes Player

I painted this one from a sketch that I did while in London. This guy was playing the bagpipes outside the National Gallery on Trafalgar Square. There were some street dancers a few feet away from him that seem to be stealing away the whole potential audience. So I had him all for myself and took some time to sketch him on the spot. As I was the only one looking, I had to give him a coin or two, just for being such a good subject in the middle of the London summer crowd.

Hello !

So, here I am trying to stick to my new year's resolutions: painting every day AND blog about it. Oh and in English, which is not my mother tongue, so it's a bit of a challenge.

I've finally joined in the fun of the 'a painting a day' frenzy- there are heaps of talented daily painters out there who inspired me to start my own art blog.

I'm not usually very good at keeping up to daily challenges, but this time's the one! I can only hope that challenging myself this way is going to make me improve my technique and eventually grow as an artist.

I already paint everyday and have been for a while, the challenge here is to actually complete a painting everyday, a thing that I'm not good at - I have hundreds of "works in progress", which haven't pregressed in a while. So here, I'm gonna try to go to the end of things.

I called this blog "Nomad Paintings" as I will be painting from my travels, past and future ones; It might evolve to a travel blog from time to time, just wait and see ;)

Anyway, hope you enjoy my paintings, looking forward to your commenting!
