"Crossing"



This is another painting I did at Down Whitelaw's workshop. I enjoyed the three day workshop very much. It's so good to see some of my old friends and get to meet with other new artist friends. Most important is - I learned how and what to "think" during the process of a painting from Dawn. It is just simply too cool :-)

Shadow of the Cross




The White Church in Town Square Collierville, TN. This painting is done in the three day workshop with Dawn Whitelaw. I am so glad to get to meet Dawn. She is a great instructor.

I finished this house portrait a few weeks ago. This house was built in 1880. Jill and her husband had put a lot of time to it to renovate the house. I know they are so proud of it.

"Rooster" -- Sold

How do you like the colors and the brush strokes of this rooster?

"Olivia" - Sold


Can you tell Olivia and Nathan are sister and brother? They have same shape of eyes. I love to see that large blue bow on her hair - It stuck out of the canvas a couple of times :-)

"Nathan" - Sold

This is 3 year old Nathan. It's amazing that how you feel like you know everything about this little guy after staring at his picture for a couple of days. He is just too cute.

RDB workshop


I have traveled a lot for the last a couple of months. So I've been behind on my blog postings. The picture showing here is the Roger Dale Brown workshop (April 10-13) I attended at Tupelo, MS. He is a national known landscape artist from Nashville, TN. I’ve learned a lot from the workshop. He is a great teacher.

I have been reading books about the “Tonal Value” as the very important aspect of a painting. This is one of my exercises of the value placement. This painting is dominated by the medium values. There are at least 4 values here.
