Postcard from Hong Kong

This painting was done from a picture taken at the Fishing Village in Hong Kong...

I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Buddha

While we were in China we had the opportunity to visit a couple of Buddhist temples. This Buddha was located in the first floor of the Jade Buddha Temple in Shanghai, and it is now part of my "China Series." I tried achieving that gold look... I hope it was effective!

The Master

I was finally able to post again! I have been so busy with my painting in the gardens class (Show coming on Sept. 19th - I will post the invitation later) and the paintings that I have to complete for my trip to China.

Here is one of the Master who gave us a class on Chinese Calligraphy in Shanghai.

Paintings coming soon

As you may already know, I was in China for the past two weeks. I was expecting to be able to post something to the blog while I was away, but I was unable to access the page from that country. So, this is just to let you know I will be posting more paintings as soon as I get back to the usual rythm...

Thank you for your patience!

Monet's Garden

I decided to challenge myself a little bit with this piece. It is another one of the paintings for my "Painting in the Gardens" class. The amount of greenery in this piece makes it difficult to create depth. I worked from a photograph taken in Monet's Garden in Giverny, France last year. I hope you like it! (The photograph looks just a tad darker than the actual piece).

Where is the Tequila?

I love limes! Eating them with salt is just wonderful!

I painted this piece in the style of one of my favorite artists: Carol Marine. I really love the sketchy, non-rigid qualities of it. I think I want to experiment more in this style, perhaps this is where I want to go next with my work (At least in oils). What do you think?
