"Moonstruck I"

I am quite happy with progress I am making. Enjoying the experimental approach with the use of color and texture. There are endless possibilities as long as I am on my journey of the searching

                                                            24x24x1.5 in.     acrylic, mixed media on canvas

"Journeyman"

This painting has thick and rough texture. Hard to deal with.
Has so many layers attempt made. Finally I am quite happy with this painting.
I have to give a title fit well  to. Maybe, "Journey Man", I like it!

Searching for the Direction-week 5

5 weeks passed by. Finally I have  two paintings which I could call it as finished. I am very happy I got to this point rather quicker than I expected.
My mission from now is to continue producing paintings with same integrity as these.
Seems much harder than the exploring stage.

Searching for the Direction-week 1

Starting last week,  I am trying to do larger paintings, with different approach.
By using acrylics, creating  the interesting surface. I am curious how this process will be developed.


20x24, acrylics

Monotype with my drawings

  

These are monotypes cooperated with my figuire drawings. All of these are work-in-progress. I love this process. It offers the endless possibilities in art-making.

some drawings..

I found a figuire drawing group in Santa Fe, not far from me.
These are first drawings  in this year.   I felt  so familiar being with other artists and  a model,





like coming back  home.
This model was so lean and long, from yoga and Qigong practice..

"Daisies II"

 "Daisies II"
4"x4", oil on gessobord

This painting took little longer. Because there was a little commotion between the yellow daisy and the white flower in front.
    I had to calm them down by acknowledging both are queens.
    One is a queen of England, the other, queen of Scotland.

 I must like flowers.
Painting flowers on the small panel is so much "FUN"!
    Like cool breeze in the summer evening.

"Summer Pink II "

Pink roses in my garden
5"x7", oil on gessobord

"Summer Pink "

 "Summer Pink "
4"x4", oil on gessobord

It is season for the roses.
These are from my garden.
Roses are so gorgeous and easy to grow.
They love long and hot sun light in the summer.

"Head Study 10"

"Frank"
6"x6", oil on gessobord

For this portrait, more time and effort went into the background design and the composition. 

I like to show the character of the person through the whole painting with composition, design 

not only with the head.

"Red Flowers in Blue "

 "Red Flowers in Blue "
6"x8", oil on canvas board
 NFS
 My effort to give abstract quality to the plain still life.

"Jennifer_ Head Study 9"

I am happy that this painting is done spontaneously. No over working. This is from the Mugshots. She looks young and innocent. I like to paint beautiful girls. Next time I will choose a psychedelic looking guy.

                                                    (Ref Mugshot for this painting)

" Head Study 8"

6"x6", oil on gessobord

I am working on the composition for the whole picture plane with a head vs. just painting a head.
I want to see where this attempt lead me.

" Head Study 7"

" Tearful"-Head Study 6

 " Tearful"
6"x6", oil on gessobord

I did this painting from the mugshot in the web.
She seems so regretful of whole incident.

" More Spring Flowers"

I picked more flowers from the hillside today.

"Wild Sun Flower"

 "Wild Sun Flower"
4"x4", oil on gesso board

Springtime...
Wild sunflowers started blooming along side of the hills. I always tempted to pick one while I walk with my playful puppies.

"Daisies in a Cup"

Daisies in a Cup
6"x6", oil on gesso board

This painting is done with the palette knife a few weeks ago. 

I was able to scan this painting since the painting has dried up. 

I am happy with scanning the painting rather than shooting with the camera, it gives a lot more close to the the true color of the painting, also no distortion of the size.

"Head Study 5-Basquiat"

Recently I was introduced to Jean-Michel Basquiat.
I am so intrigued by his work and his life. ..
