Liang Zhu

Here is something I sketched after hearing a great piece of classical music, which I liked enough to find more about it.


I wanted to know more about the composer so I looked online and I found a really great old Chinese story (of course) which is what inspired the music I liked so much. I swear nothing ever happens at random.
Its the story of Liang Shanbo & Zhu Yingtai, or "the butterfly lovers". If you want to read the story here is a link to the wikipedia page:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butterfly_Lovers
Maybe a painting next?

Flowers

I just finished a one day study of lilies, and I am working on another painting with my little brother Simon as the model.

Dragonfly

This is a thumbnail of my dragonfly painting. I might work some more on it... maybe. (The quality of the photo is not that great) >_<

Art show at PAS?

My studio at my dad's house is all set up and running!

I'm starting the first "serious" painting of the summer (of a dragonfly.)
I'm also working with Julia B. on getting a show in the Unitarian church gallery, no solid dates yet, (October or November?) Hopefully I'll still be here when it opens (as opposed to in China.)

I'm studying Chinese as much as I can (after work, before work, my days off while painting.) Some good news is I took a test the other day (Chinese language) and I scored as "intermediate", I've been stuck on "elementary" for way too long.
