Creativity Bottle-neck
Not much going on. I live in a small apartment, so I do all my paintings outside. I won’t have anything new ’til winter passes by.
Keep checking, I’ll be working on bigger canvas for my next series of paintings.
City Lights

I’m still looking for a place that offers a cheap serigraph or photo on canvas reproduction. Later on I’ll be selling copies of my favorite digital photographs.

City of Angels
No new stuff. I’m on vacation in L.A. visiting relatives. It’s been fun. Hollywood blvd however is quite a disappointment. It’s a little dirty, but it’s still a fun place to go and see things. No celebrity sighting yet, just an onsite shoot of some movie called “Knock…” or something like that. The security guard doesn’t even care much about the movie. No big stars maybe. It’s a movie from the peeps that created “40 Year Old Virgin,” so it’s gonna be a riot regardless.
Laguna Beach is nice and clean, and places are very accessible.
This is what I have for now.
I have some more ideas now in my mind for my Asian flavored abtract paintings. Hopefully when I get home, I’ll get to work immediately.
Materpieces??? another ?
When I hear someone on TV saying masterpieces by so and so artist, it still makes me roll my eyes. For some reason, I can not let myself believe that an artist can really have multiple masterpieces. I think having it in plural form defeats the basic nature of someone’s artistic journey. Masterpiece is the culmination of the artist’s work. The single piece that puts him to a new level of artistic expression. It is the piece when style and emotion finally become one. The piece that defines the artist, and the standard for the succeeding pieces.
Maybe I’m searching for a different word.
On personal note, I think Monalisa is the only true masterpiece of Leonardo. All the rest are just extremely great works of art.
Nice Kitty…

Dry medium is a nice way of re-examnining color technique. My color palette is usually small. I rely mostly on blending and mixing. I think, this is a simple way of giving your work its own characteristics.
The Last Leaf Ver. 2
TITLE: Last Autumn Leaf
MEDIUM: Acrylic on Canvas
SIZE: 11×14
A different take on the subject. This is a more literal interpretation, a dried leaf clinging on the branch. You can easily visualize it falling to the ground.
The Last Leaf
TITLE: Last Leaf
MEDIUM: Acrylic on Canvas
SIZE: 11×14
This is a homage to the short story “The Last Leaf.” It’s a story about an aging artist who’s been contemplating about his masterpiece and a dying young lady. Just like how the popular song goes with the same title, she stakes her life on every leaf that clings on the branch by her window. When the last leaf fell to the ground, the good artist carefully painted the leaf on the window.
