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.
