River Runs Through 云南 九鄉峽谷

A group of us 11 took an escorted tour to the southwestern part of China in the spring of 2007.  It was a fabulous trip.  We visited the most beautiful part of Yunnan province and the famous fairytale scenery of  Guilin.  Here were the cliffs in Jiuxiang where we took a boat ride to go through these amazingly beautiful cliffs and rush river.  This trip was definitely one of my favorite trips.  It  left with me many memorable places and people.  If you want to enjoy the unpoluted air in China, visit Yunnan.  This painting was done primarily by palette knifes plus a few brush strokes.

Dream of Bear Creek 夢中的小河邊

 Here is an oil value study I did on location by the Bear Creek of New Braunfels, Texas.  I love the black and white moody feeling of this painting.

Aloha, Lily 國英女士

 We took a 12-day cruise to visit 4 major islands in Hawaii in the Spring of 2012.  It was a fun fun trip.  There were so much activities on board and off the ship.  Here is Lily who was standing by the beach of the big island Hawaii.  We had a fabulous tour guide for our island excursionon.  He took us to visit the Volcano National Park, the rain forest, an orchid center, and of course the beach.  He bought some fresh fruits for us to enjoy at the beach park.  It was exciting to see about a dozen of big green turtles at the beach.  The trees and plants in Hawaii are so healthy looking in beautiful and lavish greens, yellows, and pink, etc.  It is truly a place you want to visit.  Aloha!
