You, Cem have a strong will and besides that a great background, family and more than a few friends here!

Hi Cem,
Very nice work, so expressive, nostalgic. I used to say that art is the by-product of a healing process. Does it works both ways actually? Really, I don't know.

Late lament
"Cold hearted orb that rules the night,
Removes the colours from our sight.
Red is grey and yellow white,
But we decide which is right.
And which is an illusion? "

Cem,
But that's just night!
The orb is banished by the light
Then the meadows come to sight
The children hand in hand
Skip to school
People follow the golden rule
A kite flies high,
Lovers look up,
The sky is filled with heaven delight
An old man, leaning on his wooden crutch
Grateful for so much
Smiles at his chance
Too see his children's children
Happy and safe
And by his side his loving wife.
And I love life
Oh, love life
Yes, I'm grateful
Yes, I am!

We are even more grateful to have you as our tour guide on the bus.
You have missed your calling if you ask meCem,

Thanks Doug. I like it due to its layers. Also being a Moody Blues fan helps. This is color management in a nutshell, avant la lettre. Brilliant!

Thanks Cem,
The folk with us in the Yellow Tour bus makes it really interesting and worthwhile. Every so often you get off to do your stuff and then come back refreshed with new surprises. I'm the one with perseverance waiting for your next burst of creativity. Sometimes, it's painfully long but you never disappoint us!
Having pictures of people, rather than with people is the new vein of gold ore I see being mined in your work. This boy is one good example. It's not a picture with a boy. It's of the boy and that's what makes it special.

But it is not a cheap or easy pciture of the boy. His expression is uncerrtain or introverted and the fence and locks, with the light reflected of the ater beyond ask questions too.
Good work Cem

Mike, that's fascinating. Could you expand that idea on "the fence and locks ,with the light reflected on the water beyond asking questions"?
