Back in town last week.Posted here are few on location studies that I did on painting trips to Hunan and Anhui Provinces, southeast China.安徽 屏山村 Pingshan Village, Yi County, Anhui Province. Peacefully nested in a valley, less than 60 miles west of the famous Mt. Huangshan ( Yellow Mountain ), the Pingshan village was established way back around 400 AD, flourished in Song dynasty, about 1000 AD

Just came back in town the past weekend from an one-week painting trip to Wilmington, NC. - a coastal town by the Atlantic ocean. Sunny and hot the first two days, rained out the rest of the week. Stayed on Figure 8 Island, painted out right on the back deck of the house...wet, chilly, grey n' gloomy sky, dark clouds, misty marshland...all the fun we could possibly have in cold rainy days!

A New Book by PAPW paintersjust came outPlein air painting is an extraordinary thing. We go outdoors, set up an easel, palette, and other tools and then attempt to capture the scene before us on a canvas. Plein air painters appreciate the subtleties of light, values, edges, color and movement that can only be experienced directly by “being there”. They hope to breathe the reality of this direct

14"x11", oil on linen, NFSI did this one hour sketch as a farewell demo for the gang in art/design dept. of BSS last week - looking right through the window on the 11th Fl of the Studio. It's a quick record ( I was racing to catch up with the changing light ) of the feel of the sunset view over Broadway at White Plains which I've been looking at every single working day in the past 3 plus years.

As friends have been telling me for quite a while: time to move on! - I finally made up my mind just about to do so. After over a decade working in the film industry, this June is my last month working in the arena. I'll be leaving BSS and taking a break to have some time for myself to paint full time, or part time. It has been a fun ride, I’ve enjoyed every minute of it, and yet... That's it!.

Having not come to paint out on the city street for quite a long while, felt pretty guilty, finally took my French easel out, went painting with few guys from BSS in the Central Park. It felt rusty and struggling, yet it was so pleasant and refreshing out there in the bright spring sunlight.Should go moooooore often...

Alen was the most dedicated artist... Sang Jun was very determined, too. While Dice was still looking for the coolest spot in town......and he finally found it. Tom got the biggest easel on the earth, but he stll got paints all over his face... Nash was the happiest painter in the world ... ...while someone else was feeling really really bad about what's on the canvas,

Reality is merely an illusion, although a very persistent one.In art at its best, brush strokes catch not only what you see but also what you feel when you see.
