Barns

I was trying to capture the atmosphere of the warm morning sun in this painting, and restrained the use of the umber color series for the dark.

Mustard Field

This is the typical California spring scenery with rolling hills and yellow mustard field -- after the rain, of course :) Although this kind of scenery has been captured by many artists and photographers, I still don't mind painting it as this is my memory of spring 2012.

Thrive in th Sun

The most surprising beauty always exists in the most common place like this windows -- during my Italian trip. The warm sun shining on the wall and the plants and pots. Yes, it's an unforgettable trip !

Bright Yellow

Every autumn I am drawn to paint the fall colors, and here is my attempt this year -- focus on unifying the bright and dark parts of the leaves better this time :)

Hay Field

This is the first painting I did after a long trip to Turkey. The trip helped me to refresh my body and mind, and now the trip is over and I feel the strong urge to get back to my painting routine.

This is the familiar hay scene during my travel, and I like the simplicity and space in this painting.

Triplets

The waves were pounding the California coastline along the Highway 1 on a sunny day.

into the Nature - 1

A tranquil scene on the road to the wild.

Sunbathing

This hanging basket of impatiens caught so much sun in the afternoon. I just could not resist to paint them.

Lemons

Spring is here, these are the lemons freshly picked from my lemon tree. I love the fresh scent from the citrus blossom in my backyard, and make lemonade out of them.

Pears

I dropped the 3 very ripen pears in the big white cloth. Besides the pears, it's fun to paint the folded cloth too.

Egg shell and bowl

This is an interesting setup. I had fun to render the colors and shapes of the egg shells and the white bowl. Hope you like it too.

Half Moon Bay

We went to Half Moon Bay to paint seacape, instead we bumped into this beautiful and tranquil mustard field. It is absolutely a paradise.
