Obadiah’s Pool completed
This is the finished painting, Obadiah’s Pool. I’ve added a transient figure in the cloister to the left, as well as in two other places. I’ve also added reflections in the pool itself.

Equus 1 completed
The previously-posted shield-like horse-head piece is now finally finished, after the application of many, many dots and splodges! I”m surprised by the way it somehow combines an ancient splendour and gravity together with an amusing folksy lightness. I am offering it for sale at $1750.
The Pool of Obadyah
This painting is still a work in progress – probably awaiting a discrete figure or two to appear……This rather architectural scene was inspired by a courtyard in the Alcazar of Seville (al Qasr = castle in Arabic). I’ve transplanted this most beautiful and serene courtyards to an imaginary setting in Jerusalem, and I’m relating to […]

It shows the ancient city of Jerusalem, with the mountains of Edom in the distance, at the time of the great pilgrimage festival. Thousands […]
Peacock sitting in gold-leaf tree
Detail of a new oil and gold-leaf tree painting, showing a peacock sitting pretty in said tree. Some prints of mine are now on view (and for sale) at the Fuchsberg Center for Conservative Judaism, Jerusalem.
The Night Meeting, Oil on Canvas, 60cm x 80cm
To celebrate the ceasefire agreement just announced between Israel and Hamas, it seems I have just sold this new painting to a private collector in Tel Aviv. Very pleased! (Especially pleased at the ceasefire)!
Strange world
More warplanes flying overhead this evening, despite talk of a ceasefire. My wife’s relatives in Beersheva had their windows blown out today by a rocket landing nearby. They are all OK. Also a rocket hit a bus in Beersheva today. The bus was empty. (They hit a school yesterday – also empty). In Syria today […]
