Opposite the white mosque, and just near to where the Dhow boats travel up and down the creek, was this beautiful view towards the wind tower. Oil on canvas, 6" x 6" #artistUAE #polishartist #30paintingsin30days #ArtDubai #kasiaDzikowska

Old places are full of thin, widing alleyways leading who knows where, and this one in Bastakiya I found particularly romantic. Oil on canvas, 6" x 6" #30paintingsin30days #kasiaDzikowska #ArtDubai #polishartist #artistUAE

30 in 30: Day Eight
For Day Eight of the Thirty Paintings in Thirty Days Challenge I chose this beautiful scenic alleyway in Bastakiya. The way the light fell through the leaves of the tree, with the wind tower in the background, meant I just had to include it in my challenge.

30 in 30: Day Seven
To finish the first week, this painting is of an alleyway leading to the oldest remaining structure in Bastakiya - the defensive wall around what was once the village. This wall, crumbling and almost a ruin, is made from coral in a traditional manner specific to this region.

Remember yesterday's view from a villa into a courtyard? Today it's the opposite view, from the courtyard into the villa itself. Since I've seen these villas it's now my dream to live in one, as the architecture is just gorgeous! Oil on canvas, 6" x 6" #artistUAE #ArtDubai #polishartist #kasiaDzikowska #30paintingsin30days
30 in 30: Day Two
For Day Two of Thirty Paintings in Thirty Days, here is the Arabian Tea House Café in Bastakiah, Dubai. If you are in the old part of Dubai, this place is beautiful and relaxing. They have around thirty different types of delicious tea, it's really worth a visit! Oil on canvas, 6" x 6". #30paintingsin30days You can see work by other artists here #artistUAE #ArtDubai #polishartist #kasiaDzikowska #30paintingsin30days
30 in 30: Day One
Here is my painting for Day One of the Thirty Paintings in Thirty Days Challenge; my theme for this challenge is "Old Dubai". I chose this theme in order to show the lesser-known face of this modern, multicultural city - the older culture that is the foundation for the values of this ambitious place. #30paintingsin30days Oil on canvas 6" x 6" You can see work by other artists here #30paintingsin30days #kasiaDzikowska #polishartist #artistUAE #ArtDubai
