Blue and green again...

Another 24"X12" painting has done and turned out my typical "BLUE and GREEN" painting.

I never intended to use only blue and green in my painting but my landscape always turns out blue and green. Now I'm even curious about how far I can go.

Another painting for the next exhibition

Always difficult for me to follow the theme. I think my imagination is so limited.

But I've just finished another painting for Visuals next exhibition " Home for Holidays" at Foyer Gallery next month. I don't think there is any necessity to paint this scene using oil paint and it may be better using acrylic or something, but only this image came up to my mind.

Now I'm going to start painting whatever I want!

Painting people...

I've been thinking for two years to paint this one of the scenes of Alta Lake. Why it took me so long? I was afraid of painting people.

I've painted some paintings with only one woman in my painting like self-portrait. But never done people in. I always find it so difficult. But I tried this time. And didn't turn out excellent but I did it, anyway.

Along the theme...

I often feel it's very difficult or frustrated to paint something along the theme. My imagination is quite limited, also I'm not good at painting anything I  want,either. Very rarely, as soon as I hear the theme, the vivid image comes up in my head.

I've told there is a theme of our next Visuals exhibition in November a few months before.
" Home for Holidays". At first, nothing came up to my mind. So I even asked some of the artists to give me a hint. But finally I've got an idea and finished painting a few days ago.

Nothing but weed...

Last couple weeks, I couldn't decide what to paint next. Just playing with paints with brushes and painting knives on canvas. And here is the result.

I found this 2 years ago and I'm impressed even weed can show us such a beautiful scene. Well, I felt so, at least. I took some pictures of them and waited for the time to be ready to paint.

Back home!

After for 2 months staying in Japan, finally I made home.

The air in Squamish is so nice and no crucial high heat! Osaka is the worst place to stay in summer. I was raised in Osaka and I thought I could still deal with the hot summer. But I'm used to this Squamish "temperature" for 8 years. No way to go back over 35C + high humidity !!!

Started painting a couple days ago, but not specific images are coming out yet. Just try to move my painting brushes back and forth on a canvas until "something" coming up to my HEAD.

I DID IT!

It's been almost 5 months since I first started this "purplish pink " sunset.
Once I ended up "Orange" sunset which is displayed at Portico Gallery now.

But I couldn't give up to paint purplish pink clouds in the dark blue sky. I kept challenging it and stopped a little while and painting again and even ruined 2 canvases.

Then, finally I finished painting it today except putting varnish on after it dries. I son't want to say this is the exactly I wanted to paint, but 85%, I feel comfortable with it.

Now I'm ready to swich my mind to going to Japan at the end of this month and staying there almost for 2 months.
