Backyard 2
I did another big painting recently, 36"x 48". It's not easy to get a good photo for a big painting with a lot of details. Does anybody have any experience in taking such photos?
Email me if you are interested in this painting.

Cow boy
Last week's study from my small group. The model's yellow shirt is interesting to me, so I decided to add a warmer light in the background to create a warm tone for the painting. Email me if you are interested in the painting, 11x14, oil on linen.

Spring Series 5-23-2014
As I mentioned in the previous post, I am working on some big paintings. Here is a finished one. I find that my photos are always unable to show the big painting well, so I added a couple details of the painting, hope this will help. Let me know if you are interested in the painting.
Animals are always an interesting subject for me to paint. I like the brush strokes applied on the dog, the spring green shows on her body.
The girl is beautiful, I tried to capture the moment when she put her foot in the water, I can feel her happiness even when her face is in the shadow.

Figure Study 002
Our painting group is running, here is the second painting I did. It is challenging to paint the live model on a big canvas (24"x 30"), but I think I will get use to it.
Please email me if you are interested in my figure study.

Figure study 001
I feel that over the years I have not spent enough time on my own paintings because of my schedule, and I know that some of my friends and students are very interested in painting with me. I have thought about this for a while and decided to create a small painting group with them since last month.
The group is running well so far, we found a wonderful studio from one of our members, and we have good model for two days every week, everyone feels good so far... I am happy that I can get at least two days to focus on my paintings every week! :)
Here is the first painting I did, and I believe I will be creating more beautiful paintings with the group.

Figure - 2013 - 01
This is a figure study I did a week ago, it was a three day pose.
The warm light around her head and arms and natural light from the window on her leg and body created dramatic colors for the skin tone. I like it! Please email me if you are interested in this painting.
