NEW DESIGN

From visiting a farm stand to working up a small sketch, & a little extra magical help from photoshop ... I have a new design! I love creative days.

FALL APPLES

Montgomery Place Orchard in Red Hook, NY, is a wonderful Fall detour, the farm stand has many heirloom apples...beautiful display, & yummy samples...Just came home with many varieties to eat & draw...

MUTED COLORS

Well, it's that time again...we got this powerful snow storm over the weekend! No more colorful foliage to paint. The muted blues & whites of a chilly foggy morning at 7AM, makes this a very simple & fast sketch to finish.

THE BIG PUMPKIN

I'm born in Hong Kong, so Halloween for me is the most unusual holiday. I love everything about it. Especially the inspirations I get around this time of year.               Whether I'm visiting a card store or clicking thru GCU, the visual treat is always fun to my artist eyes.                  

PINK SUNRISE

just experimental with this new shade of color pencil from Utrecht, the perfect dusty shade to define the colors at 7am ... the pink sunrise glow lasted only 5 min, a touch of soft pastel finish this morning sketch

FALL WEEKEND

not a day for painting outdoor ... the north wind is coming on strong ... the comfort of MY STUDIO offers me a tranquil place to observe changes in cloud formation, foliage, & the many moods of nature ...

FALL BOUQUET

sad to see the summer garden colors are behind us, looking forward to fall colors...wonderful weather this fall weekend, lets hope I find the time for some pretty sketches ...

TREE HOUSE

for an impassioned sketcher & doodler, nothing beats coming upon something so special that it begs me to drop everything to get out my sketchbook...coming upon this magical tree house was a bonus to attending a beautiful country wedding in Vermont...
