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.

Year of Dragon

Chinese Money God symbolizes prosperity and good life. On new year's day it is customary for each family to wellcome the Money God to his household by hanging his picture on the gate. My aunt found this little ceramic figure in a shop in China and gave it to me. It is just in time to celebrate the Year of Dragon, Jan 23rd, 2012.

Three palm trees at Balboa

A plein air painting day with four artist frineds at Balboa Island. What a beautiful day with temp in the 80's. This is my first time here and really enjoy the scenery. I still felt rushed in setting up for painting as usual and nothing was in order. The first painting didn't turn out satifying. In the afternoon I felt more relaxed and sitting under a shade. Looking at these three palm trees gives me an urge to paint them.

Dancing Horse

Most off my photo on horses were taken in Sequim, Washington a retirement community. Those horses were either eating grass or stand still, rarely have any action. I decide to paint one with action, creating from the many references pictures on horses.
