The colors on my posts varies on diffrent monitors =(

I have been checking out my blog in diffrent computers, and often the colors look so diffrent then on the screen of my laptop!!! they are either too dark or too light. So i'm trying to figure it out and get that taken care of =O

Old town Riyadh- Saudi Arabia.

I'm finally getting back into the illustration mood, and had so much fun with this one. I love Door ways, and enjoyd working on the subtle details - the bikes,house number, note left on the door, baskets on the stairs, broken mail boxes,graphitie, and paper tea cups that were just left there- which are remains of a story waitting to be told.

Despite, all the fancy buildings and several high scale shopping malls in Riyadh ( where you can actualy always see your reflection on the shinny floor tile ;D ) , I was mostly fascinated by our old town. With it's smaller streets, smaller buildings, markets, and tourists. Haha, as many modern Saudis now a days , my younger sisters hate going there , and wouldn't want to be caught walking down the streets of the old town. However, since Riyadh is the capital, the government is taking extra care of the city and it's modernisation, therefore , where many old buildings once stood, are now newly renovated ones, thus cutting off part of it's history!

WAITING !!!

So, you think the DMV is bad ?!!!! try getting your ID card in Saudi Arabia. My mother, 4 sisters, and I had a llittle field trip over there. All I can say, LOTS OF PATIENCE was necessary . I did run into some interesting people however, one woman I talked to, said she was a match maker, for marriage that is. She said I can name her any type of man I want, and she would be sure to find him. She then went on providing me with, what she thought were, some pretty valuable marrige tips. On a positive note, only in the recent years did they start issuing ID cards for women in Saudi Arabia, and I FINALY GOT MINE =D.

I like how this one turnned out, especialy the composition! however, I think it still needs some final touches and maybe some diffrent brush strokes. I think this was mostly done in the Acrylic captured bristel brush.
