Hope my paintings brought you joy this year.  I’d love to hear your thoughts & comments!

This is my curated piece from Apero gallery Nov ‘Reflection’ Fine Art Catalogue. Thank you Apero gallery!  It’s such an honor to be a part of it with those great artists.  I love reading the curator review by the curator E.E.Jacks, she describes the artworks so precise and beautifully.  If you haven't seen it yet, please visit their site. www.ShowApero.com

One more thing, I want to announce that recently I launched my website!  It took me such a long time since I did it all by myself who is so low tech.  You will see my portrait and flower drawings at the age of 5 years old in ‘About Me’.  Thanks to my wonderful mom who kept them for such a long time.  I found them when I visited my hometown this year.  I took some photos of another drawings as well, so maybe I will upload in near future on this blog.

My website address is...(sorry, I still need to find out how to link from here to the website)

Okay, so now I can go back to paint!

Thank you for reading.

Grapes in a Paper Bag

” Grapes in a Paper Bag “

6x6 inches 

Oil on canvas panel 

SOLD 

 Grape season has come! 

I started to paint with black and white in order to get the right value before glazing.

Glazing takes time and I need to be a little patient, but once I started to see the rich and complex colors in a paining, it’s definitely worth doing it!

Thank you for viewing.

 Have a beautiful day!
