Charcoal Study

Where is my key ?

The scene I caught in Shenzhen, China. The lady is trying to find her key or phone when on a morning rush.

Mom and Baby Study

It's been five months in China and I didn't have time and chance to paint and draw. I thought that I might forget how to draw, but when I pick up the willow charcoal which I got from China, I just can't stop.

Lady Study

Chinese Sanitation Worker

This properly the most common scene I saw in Shenzhen the village my daughter and I lived. Every morning, earlier than five o'clock, many sanitation workers in their green shirts and yellow straw hats were busy to clean the garbage around the village. They use their bare hands to grab the dirty things from the trash boxes around the village, then most of them were very eagerly try to search some empty bottles or cart boards and try to resell for little profits. For me it's kind shocked that they did not have any protection on their hands when everyday touching the dirty things. I can feel if they found more than a few plastic bottles they could not cover their happiness from their faces and to keep these belongings into their own bags as treasures. It's very good for the city that people are trying to recycle the plastic and paper materials, but the workers should have the basic knowledge of protecting themselves.

Let's Go

The image that I caught on my forth floor apartment which my daughter and I lived in Shenzhen, China. My daughter and I had been lived in the Shenzhen for five month . In the village we lived, there are more than ten thousand apartments and people are crowed there. Every morning I watched the different people from the apartment we were renting there. It's so amazing how busy people's life there in Shenzhen.

Watercolor Study No. 2

Copy from one of my favorite watercolor artist Keilo Tanabe and I felt it's harder than I thought.

Watercolor Study NO.1

Copy from a master. About two months I was struggling to try to start with watercolor. It's not my favorite media; the color is not bright as oil paints. The colors faded when the painting was done. However, it probably is the best choice for the apartment I'm living right now. It required less space and time to set up and clear up after it was done; it didn't have any bad smell when most time I have to paint inside of the apartment; it's better for me for not touching oil painting for the whole year.
