I’ve changed several laptops/computers along these years. Every time I change a new one I left some files in the previous one. Of course I back up all the files in a separate drive but I don’t need to fill the new computer with bunch of older documents that I didn’t even look at. Couple […]
It has been over 3 months since Naomi came to our home. It is not a smooth adapting process if I would say, but I’m glad that at least I keep my calm and try to solve problem one at a time. First, I spent sometime to switch the litter type. She is now using […]
One day I caught up a video on YouTube called “Lucas the spider“. An example of their videos, I was really interested in this concept. And Lucas the spider just “cute”, especially the voice. To be honest, I can’t deal with insects. I’m OK with butterfly (not caterpillar stage) and bees as long as they […]
First day of new year~! I did my first “abstract” painting study. The reference photo was texture of metal rust. Well for me it was the most “abstract” picture I can understand. So I thought why not try? I have to try it at some point. However in the beginning I had no idea what […]
Finally, 2020 is done. Although this year is tough, I am glad that I was able to try new painting methods/subjects. Palette knife painting was one of them. The first piece I tried was “Pathway to lighthouse”. I put the base color layer by palette knife only. And then I went over another layer with […]
Years ago I purchased some reference photos from Jason Morgan’s website. There is one black panther photo I really like. But it takes me almost 2 years to finally have the confidence to actually paint it. When I look at the photo, I have this scene in my mind. A beautiful big black cat roams […]
Last November I did a large oil painting for my husband’s new office. It was inspired by a piece of rock slice. It was the first painting I did in 24 inch by 30 inch. I’m planning on a 24 inch by 36 inch one for my living room. My goal is gradually trying out […]
I did a tiger’s eyes oil painting on piece of Canada goose feather last year. This year I am able to made two more. Still the same batch of feather. I didn’t find any more good condition feathers in 2020. o(╯□╰)o One is farm land. One is sea waves. Both of them is about 2″ […]
I’ve always wanted to paint fantasy subject. And finally I started to do it. The idea of this painting was talking to me while I looked some reference photos online. Back then I just don’t have the confidence to actual paint it. As usual, I would like to draw a digital concept sketch to help […]
I’ve always wanted to paint landscape. I admire those beautiful landscape paintings with loose brush stroke full of expression and accurate light and shadow form. But it is out of my comfortable zone. So I tried something with less “land” elements such as field, grass, hills or forest. I picked up this piece to do […]
