Going to see STAGED by Jason Maron #jazz #roma

A study for a new series I'm working on called 'land of darkness.' my interpretation of a place that Iskandar (Alexander the great) encounters with sage Al-Khidr on an archetypal quest for immortality. Thinking about the ideas of empire and occupation compounded by the search for self-realization and utopian civilization . The paintings on panel in the series are going to be 125 x 55cm- big for me! #iskandar #alkhidr #tempera #miniature #painting #landofdarkness #green #walkingonwater

Giuliano saw a #hummingbirdmoth in the garden! I didn't even know they existed. They look so similar to a hummingbird and are silent. I hope it comes back so I can see it too!

Thank you #isabelladucrot for a wonderful studio visit with the students from @idsva

Sara Dreams Aleppo 2

Sara: "I have a dream that is amazing. I was walking in he street, and there is an army and I was trapped from behind. I was blocked on both sides."

Sara Dreams Aleppo 3

Sara: "I am sacred of dreams. I am walking in a house, and then some snipers stand in a circle around me. And then, they shoot me! One of them shoots me here, one shoots me here, and one shoots me here."

Sara Dreams Aleppo 1

Sara: "There are lots of dreams, nice dreams. There's one where I was riding a horse. I'm running and I am happy. It's really clean... There are flowers, people come and start singing."

An ongoing series of water colors based on the dreams of a young girl, Sara, who is five years old and lives on one of the front-lines in Aleppo with her mom, two older sisters and one older brother. Her father is a commander in the free Syrian army. She was inter-viewed in the documentary Children of Aleppo for PBS in February 2014.
