San Antonio River Walk 聖安東尼河邊漫步

Billy, a very nice young fellow, moved into a lovely home recently. He asked me to paint a big oil painting with something about San Antonio to hang on the top of his fire place. What else would be better than  the famous San Antonio River Walk.  This painting shows the most popular area on the river - the Ameson Theater.  Many performance and special programs are held in the Ameson Theater through out the year.  It is fun to visit the River Walk in all seasons especially in the Christmas time.  Ya'll come to visit.

Ron 畫出了神韻了嗎﹖

He is Ron Watkins. Ron was our model a few weeks ago in our portrait group. Ron, an accomplished artist, does outstanding portrait paintings in oil. It was fun to paint the artist himself. During the break Ron gave me some ideas on mixing colors for skin tones. I surely appreciated his guidance. I think I've captured his likeness in this painting. Ron said that I painted him a little mean looking. It was fun to paint a guy.

Lady in Red 紅衣女郎

It looks like she is waiting for something. I would like to title this painting "Waiting". Ming is a friend of mine, a very nice lady, and also a dancer plus many other talents. Wearing her lovely dance costume Ming was a model for our portrait group a few weeks ago. We get a live model each month and paint our own medium and style. The painting session is 3 hours. I then finished it up in my studio. I hope I've captured her likeness.

Full Bloom 台北花博一角

My sisters and I visited the International Floral Show in Taipei in November 2010. It was amazing to see so many beautiful flower exhibition with millions of fresh flowers in several parks. We felt in love with variety of orchids in all different colors that took my breath away. This was truly a life time experience with this amazing show. We spent the entire day there and only saw about 2/3 of the exhibitions. I painted this one using the photos I took at the show.
