Along the Guadalupe River #3 瓜達陸河邊

 Here again I was painting along the Guadalupe River that is located in the hill country near New Braunfels, Texas.  This river is mostly famous for tubing in the summer.  It is a popular tourist destination during the hot weather.  There are many beautiful spots along the river that provide fabulous materials for artists to paint.  We plan to go again in the next couple of weeks when the cypress trees turn into the amazing autumn colors.  I did this painting in Kathryn Stats' workshop recently.  Kathryn gave me high remarks on this painting.  Enjoy the river!

This painting has been selected by New Braunfels Art League & Gallery as the art donation project in 2013.  An image copy of this painting will be given to local charity organizations, per requests, for their charity events.   I am delighted to be able to help out our community outreach program.

First Light 清晨陽光

 We were in Estates Park, Colorado to do plein air painting and rent a cute house by Mary's Lake Road.  We had a fabulous view from the big window in the living room.  Here was the view of our front yard while the morning sun was dancing through the trees and the rocks.

Aspen Glow in the backyard 白楊秋色

 The autumn color of aspens is the best season of the year.  I always enjoy its amazing beauty and  love to include them on my canvases.  These aspen trees were in the backyard of a well known artist, Walt Gonske.  We were fortunate to have a plain air painting session in his lovely home and got to visit the artist.
