Hi Folks Nice to be back here.Watched some of your videos and felt kind like returning to a familiar place.Almost home like feeling. The past few months were really busy.I was painting alot and it is one of the reasons I am less here. Another, is my inability to post videos due to lack of proper equipment. My computing power is just not good enough for video processing so it is good that LV crated this space where we can blog in addition to video making. Anyways, the first group show is an exhibit of portraits done by different artists of some famous people here in Israel that are participating in a tv show called "Dyukan", which is the word for portrait in heberew and it is actually a copy of the same tv show that was very succesfull in Engalnd. www.starportraits.co.uk/programme_one.html The first show will start on thursday next week and perhaps i will be able to give you a link to my session when it will arrive in about a month. It is quite an exiting event i must admitt not only because of the publicity but also because it seems to be a unique opportunity in which the maistreem media is finally catching up with what we have been doing here and finaly allow the general public to get a glimpse of the artistic process as it happens without over dramatizing it as seen sometimes in the movies. Interestingly enough, the other exhibition is also of portraits but this one is self portraits of the way artist see themselfves over the passing of time. I am putting some of my new paintings in my photo gallery so please come in and give me your honest criticism. Hopefuly I will be able to return to video posting soon. Until then see you all in my blog. Josef
