Carnival Abstract

This is a watercolor 15x22 on 140# CP Arches Paper loaded with color pigments and Chinese calligraphy grassy writings.  It is rather unusual making it an interesting abstract painting.

Lucky Locks

This watercolor painting 15x22 was accepted into 2014 WASH open juried show "Go With the Flow" from a reference photo I took near my neighborhood last spring.  

Landscape 4

I recently finished this watercolor painting (15x11) after a couple summer workshops with Artist Lian Zhen this year.  I've included some of his detailed style of painting trees, water and rocks, which takes a lot time to complete.

Landscape 3

A landscape painting in progress - this is from a photo supplied by Lian Zhen when he taught at the Lincoln Art Center in August 2014.  I learned a lot about negative painting of trees and branches.  Water is masked first and then painted later.  The rocks still need tons of work.
