So... I took this painting class this past semester at Bogazici. It was WAY fun.... and entirely in another langauge -- and for me art was pretty much already a foreign language. It was really fun though and I learned that I really like art and painting is relaxing for me. So, this was my semester project and it was on display for 2 weeks at the Bogazici art exhibition in May. It's called 'Turkish Cafe' -- I know, real orginal ... the guy sitting with the coffee -- his name is Mehmet he goes to that Cafe every day and never sits in the yellow chair!...I know, don't ask me why, you'd have to ask Mehmet. I hadn't varnished the painting yet when this picture was taken so it's all shiny and then not shiny. It has since been varnished and looks better in person. So, that's it -- Turkish Cafe, oil on canvas ... we'll start the bidding at 1 million (lira that is).

1 million it is! I love that painting! You are uh-mazing!
i love it, you artist!
woah...are you really related to elyse?
Hey girl,
I love your painting...will you be able to bring it home with you?
I dream of sitting and painting for hours and having something that nice come out of it - every time I go to an art show, I'm like, "I could totally do that!" But then I never actually do. You'll have to fill me in on the secret...I suspect it has something to do with artistic talent and skill, but that's just a wild guess. :-)
Beautiful! I'm impressed, but never surprised by your many gifts! Thanks for sharing yet another talent!
Love you,
Anne
XOXO
