This is an extra large canvas print measuring 74 x 114cm/29" x 45" made for a customer order. It is really gorgeous. You can click the image to see the large image for details.
The canvas print can be stretched on a canvas bar for hanging. For more information about our canvas print please read Large Canvas Print.
The followings are some of the examples of stretched Canvas Prints:
A very relaxing and peaceful painting that adds much serenity in a modern home.
I am planning to work on new pieces of paintings that will fit nicely to modern homes with gray, white, black, purple and blue colors.
The prints are also flexible that can be made to different shapes such as very wide or long pieces.
The size can be printed in various sizes up to 71 x 110cm/28 x 43". You can choose different types of mediums such as canvas, art paper or vinyl sheet to be printed on.
I have a customer request for a big blue background Hummingbirds print. The customer has a very modern beige, gray and blue living room. They want the colors in the print to match their room.
This is how the print will look in a room with the beige, gray and blue colors. The largest canvas print we can provide is about 74 x 114 cm/29 x 45".
I have been very busy with my daughter's activities recently. There are so many things a 4 years old needs to do such as outings, piano lessons and practices, ballet lessons and other enrichment classes. She enjoys learning new things and that makes us very happy.
I made this print following a request by a customer to make a light background print for the Magnolia Bird print. The Magnolia and Bird print is one of the all time best sellers. I hope adding the light background version makes your choice easier.
Cotton Rose flower is one of the favorite flowers in Chinese culture. A lot of girls named "芙蓉" which is the name of cotton rose in Chinese. The flower looks very resembling peony, but it is smaller and blossoms in autumn, not spring.
This is the first time I paint this flower. It is really beautiful the more you look at it.
I used to make videos of my work using some free video making site such as "One Media". I know that Microsoft has a movie maker comes with windows operating system. Finally I got some time to try the Windows Live Movie Maker.
It is a breeze to make the movie from my pictures using the software. Here is the Bird, Nature and Love paintings collection. With the Windows Live Movie Maker, my video will have no advertisement from third party now.
The only difficulty is to find a suitable nice music to go with the movie. In this case, I download Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata. If you use some modern music, it may have complications of copyright problem.
I like the effect of dreamy background with sharp and high saturated colors. This is a print that I implemented using the idea. It has lots of possibilities and I am so excited to explore more new paintings.
The print can be printed in a very large format such as 28 x 36"/70 x 90cm .
Sunday is not a usual working day for me. But my house is so quiet and cool. My husband is going away for business for a few days and my baby is playing at my neighbor's house with my maid. It is such a good time for me to do some work.
I like this big print version of swallows. Click it to see the details well.
This is a set of laptop skin and wrist area skin made from the design Poppies and Birds. The touchpad of the wrist skin is cut around the white line by die-cut machine.
I'll outline the white board from the numbers given by the customer. For details of how to measure the wrist area, please read Order the Wrist Area Skin.
These are two Large Laminated Prints (LLP) of size 16 x 20"/40 x 50cm. The customer requested to print them on vinyl sheet with one side is sticky so that she will mount them on a foam board to hang. Since it is quite big, I think it will be very heavy to be framed.
Some customers asked me where to buy board for mounting of the prints. You can buy them from your local advertisement material shop such as one ArtGrafix.You can buy a foam board or gator board from them with the size you like and mount it your self.
For mounting a board, it is exactly same with applying a laptop skin. You can find out more from the article Applying Laptop Skin.

This month topic is: Favorite color and how it comes into your work .
I have no single favorite color. My favorite colors are in delicate, gentle and dreamy tones such as beige, pink, light green or blue. See the examples below:
I like people using sharp strong colors in their work such as bright red, green and blue. One day I may also use these colors. I like every color and want to try to see the how they will turn out in a painting.
I would also like to try mysterious black, gray and white or silver. They are modern and attractive to me. Colors are so magical.
