I Love You

 This is one of the paintings that will be exhibited in Asian Festival on Feb 16, 2013.  I did the painting while Weixue Su wrote in the Chinese calligraphy.  I believe someone has an eye on this one wanting to buy it.

Art for Asian Festival 2013

 As a volunteer work I painted 32 paintings for the arts and crafts booth of Chinese Society of San Antonio.  A friend of mine, Weixue Su wrote in the Chinese calligraphy.  His brush strokes are beautiful.  We hope the "East meets the West" approach will introduce people in San Antonio another level of art enjoyment.  All these authentic original paintings are for sale as a fund raising for the organization.  Here are some samples of these paintings.  The Asian Festival will be held in the Institute of Texan Culture in downtown San Antonio on Saturday, Feb 16, 2013.  This annual event is to celebrate the Chinese New Year and is participated by many Asian organizations.

When Edison meets Edison 那是我嗎?

 Edison was wondering if this painting is him?  Michael asked me to paint a painting of their beloved dog, Edison, as a surprise Christmas present for his wife, Sara.  I certainly enjoyed this project and delivered the painting in late November.  Sara loves the painting so does Edison as he was sitting in front of it and wondering.   Merry Christmas and a blessing New Year to Sara, Michael, and Edison.

Stroll Along the River 河邊漫步

 Michael strolled with his dog, Edison, along the Guadalupe River.  This small painting gives you a nice feeling of "me and my dog".

After the Dance 步下舞台時

 She was a dancer in the Renaissance Festival that is held every year in Oct ~ Nov in Magnolia, Texas.  She just completed a beautiful dance and was walking away from the dance floor.  Don't you just love her colorful dress?  The festival was fun and offered lots of entertainment.  We were presently surprised about the delicious food offered in the festival.  We especially loved the baked "apple dumpling" in the Italian food section.  The only thing needs some "TLC" is the traffic to and from the Festival in Magnolia.  It took us 2 hours in and 2 hours out of there on a Sunday visit.
