The storm of the swans

My colleague/friend/cousin Murat Germen ( www.flickr.com/photos/muratgermen/ ) wanted to see these so I am uploading these onto Flickr especially for his benefit. These are a series of paintings which are based upon the "storm days" of the Turkish Farmers Almanac. These storm days are astonishingly accurate...

 

I created these in photoshop with a wacom tablet and pen in 1997. Everything you see in these, except the driftwood and seashells in a couple of the borders has been drawn from scratch in photoshop. These were actually printed in huge sizes (150cms wide) and exhibited in Ankara and Istanbul at Gallery Nev at the time.
