Villa

     Villa

     19"x23.5"

     oil on canvas

I'm afraid of color green which is very scary color. Somehow I never be able to make a  green that I like in the past so I tried to make a painting without using too much green and I manage to finish with mostly blues with a flavor of greens. I think it's OK for now until I understand about green more. For my next trip I fantasize myself staying at one of those villas on a remote island and hopefully in the raining season and listening to raindrops all day long.

Ghost

Usually I don't remember my dreams but this time when I woke up I still remembered. It was scary but pleasant at the same time. Hope to go back to my dream but as you know it doesn't work. I thought it might be interesting to paint my dream while my memory is still fresh. Painting from memory is always makes me feel at ease it seems work as long as I follow my intuition. This institution of mine is wonderful as even I don't know what to do with my painting at the beginning but, so far, it tells me what to do in the course of painting. Yes, I'm talking to myself but it works!

     Venice California

     15"x19"

     oil on canvas

Walking along the Venice beach it is amazing I come across so many colorful people, tourists from all over the world, lots of street performers and some of them became celebrities, souvenir shops, restaurants and bars, fortune tellers families and many many more.Specially I love watch people goes by imagining, all by my self, where they are from, what's their jobs, why are they here or if they are couples their relationship must be going so well as they appear so giddy. Beautiful people and not so beautiful if I watch them for a while they are all attractive and alive.

Malibu

     Malibu

     15"x19"

     oil on canvas

Every so often when I drive down PCH I encounter some fascinating cloud formations. Watching the traffic before me with an one eye and I try to peak the cloud with the other, I can't help memorizing the shape, colors, softness, thickness and how big it is compare to the surroundings. I love watching cloud as they tell me where the wind going, how high up they are, what time of the year I mean season, how much they can show me the blueness of the sky and so on but the best of all I won't be able to see the same cloud again rest of my life. There is my favorite Japanese saying " Ichi-go Ichi-e " which means this time only, never again or one chance in a life time so I should cherish the citing every time I spot the one of a very special cloud.
