Copy of Van Gogh's Fruit Field
A copy of Van Gogh's painting, but not in the color. I used blue tone here. I don't quite like the original greenish yellow.
I am always wondering how Van Gogh creates those curly stroke in his painting. I tried with brush, but couldn't get it right. I have those sticks for watercolor painting, somehow I try to use it and it gives me this curly lines of tree trunk, branches and texture in the ground fantastically.. I never expected that the watercolor sticks can be used in oil painting as well. Such a nice discovery.

A window with fantastic view
I moved my studio to the family room with better ventilation. Now I can paint more oils.

Vintage Looking Digital Prints
I like the vintage looking photos. This is a print that I created using my photo with digital collages. I love the chinese character written by late Chairman Mao. His style is distinguishably unique.
I would love to have a print for my wedding (too bad I am already married) or bedroom decoration.

This painting is painted on a piece of acrylic treated watercolor paper so the oil won't seep into the paper as in normal case. As this is a heavy weight watercolor paper, the painting is hard and straight. It is easy to be framed.

Starry Night
It's so fun to use thick oil in painting. This little house in the night makes a perfect painting using thick oil. I use the acrylic treated watercolor paper for this painting.
If you have spoiled a watercolor paper which is very often due to the characteristics of watercolor, don't through it away. You can coat it with acrylic and use it as oil painting paper.

Red Amaryllis
I was thinking of using watercolor to do this piece, but later changed to oil. It's not easy to get the rich and dark color using watercolor.
With a baby at my house, I don't want to use oil very much because of the smell. But I like to paint in oil. I like the rich and bright colors.

Splendid
This is for celebration of Christmas. I create the piece by print the underpainting of the painting into a watercolor paper. I painted on top of the it the flowers and others. The underpainting gives a very rich texture that is not possible for me to create using watercolor alone.

Pink Bottle, Yellow Jar
I take the painting and did some digital transformation and it gives out a very interesting digital art, isn't?
Pink flower still life
The whole painting is inspired by the three pink flower in a glass jar. I created the busy table with objects borrowed from other places.
I'd like to use neutral colors and lines in my painting these days. It is very interesting to make a painting exciting by applying various levels of grays.

Pink Amaryllis
This is a semi-abstract still-life painting. I try to use lines in the work. I think I should go to learn some monotype techniques as I like using lines very much.
I start by placing some colors around the paper without exactly clear the type of objects they are. After that, I draw lines around them and it became clear to me the bottles and the flower. After that, I put more color so that the objects are in shape. It is a nice way to develop paintings as it is very spontaneous.
