Why everybody loves to mosey into their favorite cafe so much? My excuse is that I can let my mind do the walking and dreaming with each sip of coffee. It's almost like the time has suspended at the moment, well let me put this way-It's Ahhh moment.

Swan Lake?? I was watching little boats from the sailing school, it was almost like watching ballerinas dancing circle on a stage. Sailing clockwise and then counter clockwise then sliding from left to right and right to left. It was a mesmerizing afternoon.

We do have bridges in Los Angeles you know. It's almost driving into the sky, every time when I cross the bridge I enjoy the sea breeze and we hear this strange silence except tires hitting the road. The view from up there is out of this world, I can enjoy the view for a while because the size of the bridge. Best of all it's still free to cross for now!

Sunday Morning

Long time ago I was enjoying a cup of coffee at a restaurant, then little by little I kept watching this ordinary looking cup and more I sip the more I was attached to this cup, I mean I fell in love with the cup. I wasn't sure why I was so infatuated by this ordinary looking cup? I think it was the shape which it's so hard to describe but left me this long lasting sensation of loving. This loving sensation started walking by itself back then and after so many years I can still recall this sensation.

Although I painted this old warehouse my intention wasn't to show and explain about it. I had no intention to communicate any kind of messages nor concepts. Simply I only painted -Sensations-with lines, shapes, colors and textures not much of the old warehouse itself. Just follow the textures throughout the painting, then hopefully you'll enjoy traveling through your own personal sensations. It's not much of reading the painting but more like feeling the painting. Yes, feel it  with your eyes :))

Forbidden store that what I was thinking when I passed this lingerie store. I had no business in there being a man but are't you curious what kind of fancy lingeries they offer.... The store being so mysterious but I didn't have an enough guts to go inside. Well for my excuse I thought something should be left alone as a mystery so I kept mosey down the street. May be someday...........

Strolling through streets of downtown Los Angeles, I was enjoying the sights and sounds of this city. I never thought of taking photos as my hobby but now I found out something I should have learned photography long time ago. Taking photos forces me to look around my surroundings more carefully and surprisingly I would notice a lot of inspirations.  Anyways, passing by this outdoor cafe I was fascinated by a lady working on her assignment from art school (that was just my wild guess). Frenzy was the right word, she was working so hard and involved on her work nothing bothered her she didn't even notice that I was just standing near by admiring her work  with awe. Day well spent!  It was a good day.
