Goodbye Kitty

Kitty the cat belongs to my daughter in Seattle . This is the last picture I took before my daughter moved to Singapore this summer and Kitty was adopted by a good family. I was quite emotional while painting this from the picture.

Cowboy in canyon

I did this painting on the same cowboy post with a canyon background. It seems creates a different feeling. Some of my Underground painting group artists like the other one better. You be the judge.

Lonesome in woods

 Cowboy is a subject I love to paint. I have pondered for a while on how to show the lonelyness. My friend artist Martha suggested to put a tree as background. So here it is.

Orange Slices

I officially become a member of the 'Underground Artists', a group of artists gathered and paint on every Wednesday evening. One evening I brought a juicy orange to paint and Martha suggested to slice the orange. I did this painting before we ate those orange slices.

Do I see fruit

Try to decide what to paint among all the fruits in my frig. My daughter's sunglasses reflect them all. That's what I will paint.
This painting is extremely similar to one of Carol Marin's painting.
