Rio Motel

This painting is measured 6" X 6" acrylic on panel was one of the series that I was going to entered in a competition.  I never had done  a small painting and find it more challenging to paint than doing a bigger one. I had place it on the Facebook and go a lot of compliments on it. Also I am now represented by The Artist Alley Gallery - Galiara in San Franciso, California.

Arizona High Desert

This is a demo that I did with one of my student.  This painting is measured 11" X 14" acrylic on canvas panel.  I was teaching my student to think outside of the box when it comes to colors and you know me - I loved using colors bright and bold in landscape!  I am please with it and am happy to say it has a new home where the owner love it!

"Yellow Roses"

This painting is another example of using the Russian Impressionist techniques.  I love the way it is loose and yet it is controlled in some areas.  There is much more to learn and hopefully I will get there someday.  The painting of "Yellow Roses" measured 18" X 24" and is oil on canvas.

"Are You Talking to Me?"

This was a  demo that I did with one of my students challenging her to be more creative with using colors not in normal ways that we see.   It was so much fun to paint this way and had so much compliments on it.  It is measured 16" X 20" and is available for sale.

Eggs n' Vegetables

This painting 24" X 30" oil on canvas is a study of learning how to use Sergie Bongart methods. I have learn how to lay down application of paints, compositions, values, etc. I found that the more I studied the Russian Impressionist style the more I appreciate it.  Cannot wait to do more!

"Yellow Roses"

This is a small painting 8" X 10" of the Yellow Roses that I set up in the studio for my students.  I liked the transparent of the glass vase and may have to modify the colors in the table cloth. I am going to use this study for a larger painting soon.  Will post that sometime.
