Twin Trees

It was almost noon, Robert did a demo with oil painting. I had a chance to have a bite on my sandwish and relaxed. I felt a lot better although it is getting colder. I spot these two trees while we were watching Robert's demo.

This picture was almost completed at the scene. Later on at home I added some warm color to it.

Initial passage

My first pleain air experience. It was a cloudy and cold day Nov. 19, 2010. I attended Robert Sherrill Plein Air Workshop at the Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden in Claremont, CA.

After selecting my spot and have everything set up, I realize I was seperate from the rest of the group. I was rushed to paint the scene on my board. Later I found my palet was full of cool gray and cool green. I decided to join the rest of the group and forgot to take a picture. This picture was completed later at home.

Wet Land at Potaso National Park

On my recent trip to China, we visited the Potaso National Park in Yunan province. We walked along the wooden plateform (shown on the left of the picture) next to the wet land. Not only enjoy the beautiful scenery, I mostly envy the cows and horses live in peaceful and quiet place.

Forest I

I just completed a three-day workshop on triplex painting offered by Jan Wright. Here is the result of the first day's work. Originally a full sheet painting, was cut in half suggested by Jan. It turns out a much better painting. I like the texture, light and hue.

On a hot summer day

After getting some tips from my art friends, I came home full of energy and confidence and did these two paintings. I like how they turn out, loose and free motion.
