Fleisheker

I trolled the internet for inspiration for my second painting and came across a wonderful artist, Itchak Fleisheker.  Some examples of his work below.








When we were in Israel this past April, we popped into the Safrai gallery to look around and I was thrilled to be able to see one of his actual paintings.  The colors and the imagery are beautiful.

I chose one of his paintings to try and duplicate.  I had to redo the sky 7 times to get anything near to his.  My version doesn't have nearly the depth of his color or the feel of his brushstrokes, and the perspective is clearly off.  Be that as it may, I'm still rather pleased with my attempt, and the results are still look nice hanging on the wall.  I think not a bad attempt for a second painting.
