Day painting No. 10- Upward

                                            
                                                Upward (Pastel ;5 x7 on Wallis Paper)

The scene is about narrow trail toward the upper slope of Table Top Mountain, Fresno, California.
After photographing the painting, I finally found that couple of flaws jumping out to modify.Oh la la.

Day Painting No. 9 Color Play 2

                                       
                                                   Color Play2 ( Pastel : 5 x7 )

For this painting, I used beige toned Wallis Sanded Paper. I wanted to put some variation on same scene with different mood. This is more vivid color experiment. I am subject to stick to my own
safe zone. But somestimes, that safe zone makes scream to get out of it. Break through once in a while so that I can call my own voice.

Day Painting No.8 - Color Play I

                                                  Color Play I.(Pastel 5 x7)

I wanted to use limited simple color, this is done on archival sanded paper (wallis) with watercolor
underpainting.

Painting day 7 - Morning Fog

No.7

                                                         Morning fog (Pastel : 5x7)
                                     
This scene was from the photo taken during drive to Northern California from down town Los Angeles, early in the morning, it was still dark and hazy, smoky mood. Surrounding environment was so blurry look.I felt strange but fresh.

Looking down

Day 6, Painting No. 6

Look down(pastel 5 x7)

 

This scene is from the Table Top Mountain view, looking down toward the lake seen in distance away.

When I hiked over to the top, the weather was kind of cloudy and hazy. While walking up through the mountain slope, I look down behind me, it was good view landscape which I wanted to capture into one my painting profile.

Human beings mostly tend to look up to climb up or take the elevator to go upper level in life, but when you pause little bit to take your time to look down, you will get unexpected joy or peace.

Morning Walk

                                           No.3. Day Painting

                                                        Morning Walk (Pastel  :5 x7 ) -Sold


This is from Mcdaniel Farm Park in Duluth, GA. On the  road in the park, where I encountered yellow wild flower of which name I don't know. But it was  little joy in the morning walk.  Forest like trees and woods are filled with many complicated leaves, I tried to paint it as simple as possible, but the result came out still so many details.

Familliar Spot

This is small painting No.2 for day2. Everybody has familiar spot for walk or wish to go etc. This is a variation of my familiar spot where I used to visit when I was in Duluth, GA.

                                                    No.2  Familiar Spot (pastel 5x7)

Daily small commitment

To go one step forward, I made one commitment to myself. I will make small 30 paintings for 30 days. This is to improve and maintain the level of creating art. When my concern  and desire for makeing art become energy to manage my artstic life well, I should let grow enough to reach for some realistic stage.  It's been a couple days I joined daily paintworks. I posted one small painting for auction starting bid for $30.00.
                                                

       

No. 1.  In to the green(pastel 5x7)

 

This was from a view in the  park next to my place, Duluth, GA where I used to walk in the morning almost every day in spring time as usual, most of the surroundings are green, this is really risk and challenge to decribe literal color as it is, but in order to escape of it, I wanted to picure it with full of it, in that way, when I leave this spot, there will be no regret for not painting that scene. Since, this leafy green moisturized woods and meadow is rare in the extreme dry sunshine weather of Sothern

California.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Passion of weekend Painter

                                          Yellow, Pink, Blue(Pastel: 11x14)

In 2004,  I was determined to paint even only weekend spare time, I had so much eager passion for
producing many mindful artworks,but time goes by, the more I paint, the harder it is to arrive at the  level of professionalism. The more I try to develop my own style, the more blocks wrestles inside of my emotional sphere. It seems so hard to get out of weekend painter. I come to think that anyway,
painting mileage will says it all after all. To overcome weak point of weekend painter and escape into the world of showcase is not for free. Well, I hope I can make  my effort and passion for artwork  worth for rewards in both emotional and substantial wave in the near future.

This painting was done on a Sunday morning quite a time ago, I wanted to play with blue plants picked from the flower bed in the apartment where I resided. Not sure the name of it, it looks like
hydrangea probably.

Mood change by weather

It's been always dry in Southern region of California. During the month of May, a
gust wind along with hot temperature and low humidity caused devastating fire
 around mountain area.
That is not uncommon experience, but painful suffering. When we are in true hot sunshine, it is kind of unstable like a wildflower  or weed in the air.  And next day,  we got rain so hard. As much as plants needs to be feed by moisture, when we are wet we feel so moody so different mode rather than the other day. Oh well. this kind of rare wet weather condition makes me think over more painting composition than anything else. Statue of artist is  somehow  much like well growing plants when watering.

Catch the light (Pastel 12x12)

 

15 minutes a day

                                          Dusk in Jonesboro, GA(Pastel: 18x22)

Many a people  wish some magical event or magnificent, proud experience walk into our lives, but we rarely don't know how. And we know we can spare at least 15 minuets to do something we have to or want to start.  This is one way to break up with daily procrastination in ease. Daily 15 minutes leads you to grow nice garden in a month. With your 15 minutes, you can write a book in a year. 15 minutes a day in 3 years, you'll make an master of your field. So, let us make simple 15 minutes for a day on your work  bring wonderful magic.  As long as I do this math, I  will see myself the miracle mileage accumulated in my jewelry chest.
