Taking on oil paintings
This summer I painted about 30 canvases, the sizes of the paintings are on the small side. I cannot believe that I actually enjoy painting in oil after many years of painting in watercolor. It is rather refreshing to me to paint in oil. I feel comfortable with the medium. That said, I am not a master of oil painting; I am not a watercolor master either after so many years of watercolor painting experience. The more we learn, the less we know. But I am not shamed of sharing my oil works with others. I welcome all your comments. Here is one of the oil paintings I did in this summer. Cheers!

Blog Beginnings
As you view this blog, my hope is that you might witness my
progress and maturation as a fine artist; I desire to share my inspiration and struggles with like minded friends, fellow artists, and any other
genuine and creative souls.
Two Waters is a poetic term I have chosen to name my blog. Two Waters symbolizes both my Eastern and Western
backgrounds, two sources of artistic inspiration, and the two different worlds and
cultures I have lived in.
Two Waters live
quietly side by side; yet, through one artist’s seemingly random and yet destined
journey, they merge into a personal tale which will surely keep unfolding.
