"Onion"
10"x8", oil on canvas
Well, This onion was not an object to inspire me to paint.
But the painting turned out quite all right than I expected.
Actually, there were lots of interesting variation of hue, color temperature, texture, reflections within that plain, large, drying up onion ... made me get involved, once I started to paint.

"Three Apples"
v.1
10"x8", oil on canvas
I did this painting during the nighttime. When I see this painting during the day, the shadow area seems too heavy. So.. I am working on it more.
Wish that I could improve the painting. It is always better to do another painting, since I tend to loose my patience and kill all the freshness. Lets see... It is all about learning, I guess...

"Camellia"
12"x16", oil on canvas panel
My good friend, Susan has beautiful Camellia shrubs by her front porch. They are absolutely beautiful and made me feel like to paint them.
I tried to make a composition with this painting, not just a pretty flower painting.
That attempt gave me so much challenge.

"Yellow Rose"
8"x10", oil on canvas panel
I did this painting about two weeks ago.
I have to discipline myself to post on the Blog right away as soon as painting is done.
This painting makes a nice triptych with other flower paintings I did for a while ago. How do you think?

The below paintings are my recent daily paintings.
"Solitude"
7"x5", oil on panel
NFS
I spend so much time with this one more than any other paintings I do for my daily practice. After all the agonizing process, I like this paining. It has a soul.
"Red Delicious"
6"x6", oil on canvas panel
This is not good copy of real painting. It has lot more richness to the color.
"Magnolia"
8"x10" oil on canvas
"Azalea"
7"x10" oil on canvas
I didn't expect much from what I was painting.
I just did it to keep my sanity from the nightmare of fixing home after renting out home for an year and half while I was in London.
But I am very happy with this painting. It is one of my best I feel. It is rather calm than my state of mind and has beatiful color harmony, blue and orange.

Double Figure Compositions
23" x 32", charcoal on paper
These are 10 to 15 min. each quick studies.
When I draw fast, I could get into only the essence. It is very much intuitive and spontaneous process.
I have enjoyed these two figures composition.
During my Art Center time, I had one great experience creating two figure sculpture using wax through Harry Carmean's drawing class.
I remembered well how much I enjoyed it that time also.
In the future, when I have more time to get into my own work, definitely I am going to explore more multi-figure composition.

"The First Tulip_the joy of spring"
9" x 6", oil
I brought some tulip bulbs from Armsterdam last Fall. It came with a tin and soil altogether for a 'townie' like myself.
The morning is getting brighter little by little in London.
The first tulip opened up at my kitchen window sill.
I never knew such a joy of Spring after a long Winter by living in California for 37 years, without the distintive sign of seasons or the expectation or the wating eagerly for the little longer sunshine.
v.2
It is gone. I painted over.
v.1
This was the beginning of 'Tulip" painting. It doesn't exist anymore since I worked over. I like this more than the finished one. It has such a vitality and freshness in the painting.

"Girl with a Pearl Earring" _ after Vermeer
10" x 14", oil
Last Fall, I visited the Mauritshuis, Den Haag. I saw the painting of Johannes Vermeer(1632-1675), Meisje mer de Parel / Girl with a Pearl Earring.
I fell in love with this painting and wanted to copy this since then.
Finally this week, I am having a week break from the studio, was able to have this luxurious experience of examining this master's beautiful work.
The expression of this face is so delicate and intriguing, has similar impact as Leonardo DaVinci's "Mona Lisa".
It might be different if I put mine next to the original, but I feel somewhat freaky about this copy since it turned out so close to the original.
