Moon Over PCH

27"x29"

oil on canvas

Almost thirty some years ago one summer night I was in the back seat of my family's convertible enjoying the summer breeze, we are heading to a diner at the next beach town for dinner. Air was cool and salty I still remember almost magical light hitting on the top of the mountain, felt something like this is what you feel like when you are alive and all my senses were so keen, scent of eucalyptus and sea, wind on my cheek, sound of humming engine, cool blue moon light, temperature, intermittent sound of conversation. This was one of the night I'll never forget rest of my life, It was just an ordinary evening with my family.

Mediterranean Dream

27"x29"

oil on canvas

For this painting I try to incorporate as many textures as possible to create sensations. I enjoyed coming up with textures from corner to corner of this painting also I avoided too much of description instead I focused on relating each elements. Hopefully this feels as one painting as a whole instead of bits and pieces. Certain textures are unexpected and by accidentally appeared, may be I should paint instinctively more often. Felt more free and ease, best of all I knew where to go during entire time of the painting.
