By Tomorrow Where Will You Be Flying Flight 912

Intuition was what I was thinking when I was painting this piece. For  instance, talking about colors, where my choice of colors come from?? Begin with general color scheme but where the exact color, intensity, temperature and value of a color comes from? As I mixing colors I knew exactly what colors to mix to get the exact color that my brain tells me. It's fascinating that idea comes from nowhere like what to do next. By the time this painting was done, I realized all I did was just follow my voice inside. But where or how this voice comes from. I guess that what happens when I follow my intuition. Question still remains how does the intuition knows where to go ad what to do...

To enjoy the textures and colors, I made all the elements as simple as possible to avoid too much of being descriptive. Main goal was to enjoy just the sensations throughout this painting.

Story of sensations

Not like books & movies, a painting can offer you a different kind of stories, might not have any kind of messages nor chronological time span but  we can enjoy story of sensations with continuous emotional experience through colors, shapes and textures. It might be just one single painting but you can enjoy thousands of stories out of it.

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.
