A Portrait of Yasmine Alkandari
my new camera is less than spectacular. it doesn’t capture the strokes like my old camera did
Y this morning. I’m really enjoying the skirt and will work some more on her crazy top. It just needs to be tweaked here and there.
-
- y dancing in my studio. she’ll soon be united with her doppelganger
-
- her skirt reminds me of lebanese painter fatma al-sawan’s paintings. i find it very difficult to paint patterns, but once i got into this particular print i really enjoyed the rhythm
-
- most comments were that she looks like a cartoon character. famous toons range from veronica lodge and wonder woman to snow white

I love your work, can I come in for a portrait some time?Or do you just do it for family?
Hello. I do paint portraits of friends. I don’t think I’ve ever painted a portrait of someone I didn’t know! I am a little busy now with my exhibition coming up in March, but after that, I will definitely consider it! Meanwhile you can email me at ghadah@kandari.org whenever, after March, you are ready to be painted :). Thank you.
Unfortunately I live in the States, and only come to Kuwait a couple of weeks every year, and for 2013 it will be in late January. However, meeting you in person is now on my bucket list, so I will definitely contact you some time in the near future :)
