Tired

Another try of painting the figure in the nature setting.

White Skirt

My first figure attempt. I tried to capture the body movement under the burning sunshine. It's challenging painting figure but I enjoy it very much.

Back Alley

I painted this warm painting in the middle of the cold winter. The mirage-like scene was taken in the summer trip when I strolled on the narrowed back streets in Rome.

Sunset by the Marsh

Yearning for a warm weather, I painted this hot summer scene in the middle of the cold winter :p)

By the Port

Painting this picture I took years ago helped bring back lots of precious memory of that Europe trip. In the cold and rainy winter, I am gracious to be able to stay warm and indoor to paint this large scale landscape using the photo reference. I have all the time to plan, arrange, and perfecting my painting, quite different from the spontaneous plein air.

Last Light

This is another landscape painting I did during the middle of the 4 months intensive figure drawing class. Painting subject like this is like tasting a delicious dessert while I try to digest the main course of academic entree. I enjoy this experience very much.

Changing Season

I took a break from the busy figure drawing class and did this small landscape painting. After weeks of tackling the difficult human figures, it is very rewarding to go back to my familiar landscape subject. What a fun to play with the colors, and how wonderful it is to freely change the tree height and mountain angle as I like (which are big "No" for human figure).
