Main street at Leavenworth, WA, a very interesting German town.

 





Go for the candy

After lunch at Balboa Island, my friend Karen and I walked along the street looking for a shady area and interesting spot to paint. Karen had her eyes on this candy store and across the street is a for lease property; a shady spot and no people in and out, perfect! Within the two hours we been there, there were people, bikes and dogs in front of the store, I can choose whichever scene to paint. Here is what I did.

Palm Desert Evening

I toned my panel with cadium red and let it dry before I start this scene.  After two hours into the painting I had to stop and enjoy the automatic redish glow it give out. A pleasent surprise.

The Wizard and I

To celebrate our big birthdays (I won't reveal how old) my daughter invite us to New York city for four days, watch US Tennis Open during the day and broadway show at night. It was great.

Vasquez Rock

I went with my hiking group on a day trip this spring. Our last destination  is Vasquez Rock Nature Park in the high dessert near Agua Dulce Spring, ca. It has spectacular rock and stone formation. I painted this from the picture I took.

Pink Poppy

One summer we went to my friend's beach house in Sequim, WA to catch some Dungense crabs and digging clams. While others were hard working digging clams, I discovered this poppy at the back of her house. They are more like roses with multiple layers of pedal, pretty to look at but hard to paint.

A Study

I went to the CCAA painting group and did this of a live model. This is my third study in this monthly painting group. I have overcome my anxiety this time and concentrate on drawing, mixing color and painting all in three hours. I have much to learn but I enjoy the session.

At the Farmer's Market

Kids are fun to paint. They always had fun wherever they are. This is the Saturday Farmer's Market in Sequim, Washington.

Peach Blossom II

This is the second floral painting study after I received several valuable critiques from my friends on the first 'peach blossom'. I'm beginning to like the smoothness surface of the Richeson panel and painting with wet paint mixed with medium which gives me a lot freedom in moving the paint. This is a good experience.

Peach Blossom

Peach trees are blooming in my garden. Looking forward to have a good crop this year.

Waiting at the Ballard Lock

 While I was in Seattle last summer, we visited the Ballard Lock which links between the salt water of Puget Sound to the ship canal and lakes. People are waiting for the water level be adjusted to allow all kinds of boats to pass.

A Table for Two

In a sunny January morning me and several art friends had lunch in this resturant in the heart of Pasadina. After lunch we went to the Norton & Simon Art Museum. What a pleasent day.
