Blue door is still blue door.

Sorry guys for not uploading frequently enough.

I’ve been making tote bags and oil painting and preparing for the gun tufting project.

Anyways.. here are the loads of photos from my activities.

 

 

This is my favorite one. YES!

 

 

Blue isn’t too bad right?

 

 

I like this flower, and this specific kind of flower means a lot to me.

 

This is the preparatory drawing for tufting. I hope I did it right…

 

 

Yes I’ve been slacking off from my water colour practice… but yea I did a lot on my oil painting practice today.

I was very happy and I think I will be more happy.

Painting 2.0 !?

I think Spring is already here. Isn’t this Japanese Sakura?!!?

Sometime I can’t spot Cherry Blossom or Plum Tree… but this is Cherry Blossom isn’t it?

 

 

I did this water colour  for friends in the U.S.

I never liked Woody Allen Film, but I actually live like one of those character from his movie…

A lot of artist here got hair cut in this past 3 weeks…

Humming, humming, so the rain won’t ruin my day…

I think the green for the carpet is bit ugly… but I’ll put some special technique on the green area… so it should look fun!?

 

My friends gave her a new knit hat!!! Wow and Wow

 

(I’ll come back to this post later tonight and write more…)

 

 

 

I almost gave up…

I started my day from big oil painting. Well… not exactly.

I started working on oil painting quickly after I went to the constructive textile work shop to ask about gun tufting.

 

 

Every time when I make textile work, or think about new textile project it certainly give me really good influence to my other art practices, especially oil painting.

 

 

I did some quick doodle tonight, but I really love it.

and I was in good doodle mood… decided to do one more

 

 

Boo!! (Two Boo!!)

I would say the first doodle is so much better and it is even better than the water colour I did later in this evening…

but I like them both…

 

 

Off to collect the test prints, where is the taxi…

I went to CASS ART in Charing Cross again…

I lower down some tones, and made some colours more  vivid today.

I don’t wanna make some colours to be dirty… so I try to mix less and wait them to be completely dry.

 

I like it so far…

 

 

 

The Teddy Bear from the fun fair stinks…

Back to Oil Painting (the bigggg one)

 

Sometime I produce more than one water colour painting… I made a rule that I make at least one water colour painting or drawing, maybe any art a day.

So far I am following the rule ok…

My friends Olarn gave me the nicest biscuit I ever had in my past 4 months today. It was a black currant one.

I love it so much!

 

 

Work still in progress

230x376cm (approximately… everytime I get different measurement… the wood tends to warp sometime… I need to re-stretch this on proper one…)

Oil on canvas

 

I started working on this big painting again. It does still make me very paranoid, but surely it is fun to work with oil paints.

It is still may favorite media.

 

 

Work still progress

I have to finish this painting soon. I have to send this to Japan. Deadline is pretty soon, but I wanna spend more time on this piece…

It’s bit hard to built a nice texture on cheap canvas board… but I’m experimenting with Impesto Paste(is this spelt right?) more.

 

I don’t normally take request, but JU JU U seemed desperately want one… 
So I did one for her…

Sometime I want to work whimsically, impulsively…

I went to see David Hockney show at RA.

It was breathtakingly good.
