I started painting a few snake-themed paintings over the winter break. This one is by far the most challenging for me because I didn’t have a reference photo; everything was done by thinking and guessing. There were so many uncertain moments and back-and-forth decisions.

I had this idea of incorporating the shape of a snake into the vastness of nature. Here, I‘ve placed it in the middle of a valley, with the body forming the shape of the Chinese character “生”(Shēng), which means ’life‘ and ’lively‘—symbolizing endless life and growth （生生不息）. The lower part represents a pond or river, while the upper part rises toward the sun.

It all started with layers of acrylic paint, metallic spray, and various other mediums, followed by additional layers of oil paint. I hope this painting will be finished soon.

Here are some of my paintings on the wall at home, and I’ve been enjoying them since I painted them a couple of years ago. They are flashes of old memories and moments in my life—some are from my hometown, and some are from my trips.

Though those moments are gone, these paintings always remind me of the good times and what happened. That‘s the power of art: that moment can become eternity. I also feel that I could expand any of them into a series.

Handmade cards are one of the best ways to show our genuine appreciation and greetings, especially when painted by ourselves.

Here are some of the images I painted for holiday cards, which I used as examples in my watercolor workshops and classes. You can go into more detail with fruits and flowers, or keep it simple with colorful ornaments. It was really fun, and I thoroughly enjoyed painting them and sharing the process.

After many hours, I’m glad this painting is closer to being finished 😊. It took so long because I added the light myself. I wanted to capture the golden hour with this warm, peaceful village. This place is real and located near me. If you know it, you know it; if not, now you do.

It was such an amazing night at the Montclair Art Museum @mammontclair for the annual fundraiser event Art Uncorked. It was my pleasure to be involved, especially with one particular painting I inspired and created for the theme. The sunrise, sunset, and colors are always captivating to me, as they represent the shifting of time from the horizon.

One of the guests commented that the colorful brushwork felt like popping party confetti, while another mentioned that the front tree looked like a Christmas tree celebration. I was amazed by how people interpreted and connected with the painting. I absolutely enjoyed the evening, speaking with and meeting the guests, as well as other wonderful artists. I‘m also glad that this painting has found a new home.

To me, painting has always been a solo lonely practice. Whenever I get a chance, I meditate in front of my easel, losing track of time in an effort to push against it. I didn’t realize that group collaboration could be so much fun.

Earlier this month I did @studiotoursoma and wow thank you for the wonderful opportunity to connect with the audience—it feels powerful when art brings people together. Thanks to the organizers, my fellow artists, and all the visitors. I truly enjoyed the company! Also glad some of my paintings and prints found new homes.

This week, I started painting three floral paintings, all taking a partial or different angle from my old painting. I love the blocking in moments, and doing three at the same time is so fun! I am going to finish those soon; hopefully, they just need a few final touches..

I was so excited to see that my painting Hawk‘s Tavern was featured in the article about the @studiotoursoma in the fall 2024 issue of Matters magazine @mattersmagazine. (I will be showing at the 1978 Arts Center)

As a self-taught artist, I am thankful for our community‘s support. The SOMA studio tour provides great opportunities for artists to grow, really connect everyone and the community, and I am so glad to be a part of it.

I also painted quite a few about this area. I live here and see places every day; there is no better way to express my feelings than by painting them.

It’s the season of dahlia flowers, and they are in full bloom. From the buds to the blossoms and then to withering, they symbolize the cycle of vibrant vitality.

I intentionally included the dried dahlias in front of Namcha Barwa, a Himalayan mountain. They celebrate the great cycle of life and death.

I haven’t visited China in 10 years. When I was there, I didn’t find the Chinese garden very inspiring; it felt too calm for me, or maybe I was just used to that type of view. However, this summer, during a casual visit to the Montreal Botanical Garden, the Chinese garden truly struck me: the simple elements composed beautiful scenes. With every angle I observed and every step I took, the view changed, like unrolling a scroll of landscape painting—I felt as if I were inside a painting!

With just a pond, stones, trees, and architecture, it’s an ideal model of Chinese aesthetics, balancing harmony between humanity and nature.

It enlightened me, and I expressed this inspiration in my painting. It’s not finished yet; the beginning was fun, full of expression and freedom, with endless possibilities. Now I need to end it. I’ve paused for a few days to just stare at it.

I am excited to be included in the 2024 Newark Arts Festival @newarkarts with the Newark Museum of Art @newarkmuseumart . The opening night is the Pink Ball on October 9th. Thank you!

My oil painting A Koi Pond will be featured in the exhibit. Another reason I love this painting is that it can be placed in all directions, I even painted it upside down at some point, showcasing the bold colors and expressive brushstrokes.

I have carefully varnished and framed it, look forward to seeing it at the 33 Wash Radical Reimagining exhibition.#NAF2024

On a rainy day, I was on the train back from the city. As it passed through South Orange, the road light turned green, and it was so bright against the gray backdrop. I snapped a couple of photos by the window and painted this painting. I added many green lights to emphasize it.

I am back in my favorite favorite room, my studio! I’m so happy to be painting again. The kids are back in school, and I’ve started teaching a watercolor class; there are a couple of opening nights this fall as well. The weather is changing, and the shifting light is allowing me to paint more. I’m just so glad to be painting again and doing the things I love after the break.
.
The watercolor painting class I prepared over the summer have received lovely positive feedbacks so far. I feel very encouraged and rewarded, and I’m quite excited about the rest of the classes. Thank you!

Sound on! The best part of the plein-air painting is being surrounded by the nature. The light, the air, the sound of the water and animal, all spontaneous shaping the painters’ next decisions. All shades of greens can only been seen and felt on the site, nothing but our naked eyes. I had to paint two, one is more detailed, and one is more simple on a sketchbook.

I know plein air is attractive but I couldn’t leave my studio until @laratomlin.art @maplewoodmemorialpark organized it. Thank you!
