By the Lake

6" x 6" watercolor
SOLD

Hope is like a "drug". We can't live without hope. Hope is something that can really make us have a peaceful mind when we are feeling terribly sad and helpless. I really wonder if only human beings have a such wonderful "drug" to heal their soul.

Spring Melody

6" x 6" watercolor
SOLD

I went to judge more than three hundred Chinese paintings and pieces of calligraphy. There are so many young Chinese-American artists in US who enjoy learning this type of art. Seeing that kind of energy and passion, it reminded me of when I was young.

The peonies in our garden have started blooming. It's really a challenge for me to paint such a large flower in such a small space, but I am captivated by their beauty.

SOLD

When we lived in upstate New York, we had a rose garden, they were just so beautiful, I used to sketch a lot when they were blooming all over the place, I was just afraid to miss out any of the pretty ones before they were gone. Here is one of the red memories.

With each Spring the warbler brings his friends to sing their songs outside my window. I like to paint warblers they are very colorful and cute. Hope Spring comes soon.

Returning Home

3.5" x 5" Watercolor
SOLD

We've had so much snow this year, everything is blanketed in white, I didn't see or hear the little stream when I went out for a walk. The stream that flows under the stone bridge in this painting is like the one I pass by, I am also followed by this cute black dog. This painting is result of my walking.
