Original oil on painting
This is an oil on canvas about 36” x 18” / The paint is built up in lots of thin, oil heavy layers / over a thick heavily textured impasto layer
it’s something I dreamed being awake…. / odd..
I finally got to paint this from my digital manipulation, Don’t Give Up Searching . I’m so pleased with the result. I used a few different textures and oil paint and made the eye brown rather then blue so that the image was unified in pallet to suit a college project so that I could paint this particular piece without abandoning duty. / UPDATE- / In 2008 this painting was STOLEN. / It was being displayed in Bentley Pines Restaurant with a group of other art from fellow students. toward the end of the year the restaurant went though refurbishments and stored the works in a disabled toilets :/ we were asked to collect the work but this painting had already gone before it could be collected. Ive contacted all the people in charge and been forwarded around like a telstra customer on hold and still haven’t gotten it back. :(

Ever get the feeling that everyone’s staring at you when you get on that bus to work every morning? Well, I did (before I shed the shackles of the day job and became a freelancer at least!) and that’s what inspired this painting – commuters on the top deck, always curious to see who’s entering their domain.

I painted this group portrait some time back, and greatly enjoyed depicting the richness of colour, texture and light – hopefully also capturing the spirit of these wonderful people, that they enjoy within their culture. / They are sitting in a yurt, listening attentively to a European translator describing the differences between our culture and their own.

I a small town, in a small flower shop there was a rose. / It had been waiting for a buyer. / I noticed it by chance when passing by. / It had already dried a little when I brought it home. / I had never painted a flower before. / I reached to it with a paintbrush and a story revealed itself to me. A story of noticing. Thank you for noticing! oil painting, original size: 156cm x 79cm
Painting by Dorina Costras / Acrylic on canvas / 54/58 cm / Original for sale __________ “The leaves grown dark / By the autumn wind fall / Cover the ground, / Cover your body, / The wrapping of your being / That hides your true ego. / The warm dew of your eyes flows, / Nothing is there to wait for her, / It gets lost in the void, / Nothing needs their torpor. / Glitter in the sun / That passes through your body / And immerses it in candid dazzle, / The night is coming, the Orient is dancing, / Whirling in his veils, voluptuous dance / Wraps the world. / .And the wood that contains you, / Oh my goddess. And all is mystery, / Possible enigma, incomprehensible fear.” Gothica – The Pure Nymph lyrics
