Nature's Balance


I like rich green color in summer, so I had to simplify all others to make sure
rich green colors stand out, sky was beautiful blue and cloud was there just
as if making balanced nature over all.., I wonder how,s going to be if I make
a lot bigger painting with exact same mind set, I think painting will come out
spectacular, if I use enough brush stroke and rich colors...
I am always looking for something fresh concept or colors without eliminating
traditional method.. yes, I am one of the proson who wants to keep a canvas,
a brush and old school, but I am not an plein air artist, impressionist, or an
expressionist, I don't belong to anywhere, because I am just an Artist searching
for the Truth.

Sunshine in the Park

I am learning a lot of things from nature, our nature indicates plenty of
 reasons to paint, there is rich colors and all those small elements from
nature itself give me plenty of ideas to go ahead a piece of painting,
I just have to simplifiy a lot and find good result. I talked about "Lines"
behind a piece of painting, that is exactly happening in this painting.
The " Line " is important only for myself, because that has historical
reasons to me, it's personal matter, also it could be cultral matter, too.
A lot of times, these concept coming in the middle of painting, so I cannot
help but have to go that way....

Waves of Jones Beach

Today, I want to describe the importance of our effort to complete a painting.
I usually get inspired by something small sections or part of our daily life.
I have developed several different kinf of technique during the last 10
years of struggle with my painting process, but , if i think about one technique after
another I usally never reach what mind is looking forward, on the contrary,
when I deeply understand what I want to achieve and just follow my dream and music,
sometimes, the technique comes automatically with all my experiences, all of sudden,
new world comes right in front of me, the painting gets it's own life and start
breathing by itself.
So, this is the lesson I learned from my self.
Hopefully, in the future, I continue to this wise step, and create something remarkable...

Late Winter in Cold Spring Harbor

I pass by this location very often, because this town(Cold Spring Harbor) is not far from where I live (Locust Valley) and I wandering around to find something really inspires me, this town possess it's own coziness and what really drives me to paint is a sense of happiness, and I tried hard not to
make so realistic...yes, my recent painting is about a sense of music and life, I do not think this could be done with brilliant realism, the real comes automatically when I get inspired with mind of some thing,  that thing is hard to explain....anyway, I try to free my hand I only put least detail as possible
to get closer to what I am thinking.

June Lake

One piece of painting has it's own story itself,and it is not easy to say about one particular painting,
but that's painting, I do not want to explain everytime why this painting is made..
But, here is the simple explanation for the people who wants to share little bit of story from myself.

I visited a park near our neighbor and I found these beautiful sunshine and shadow
everywhere, and I was very impressed by the color of the forest and sunshine of the morning at the same time,
so I decided to paint this spot with very quick brushstroke before I lose my initial intentions,
I love to show brushstrokes on my painting, and by the time when I actually
paint, I realize that this painting needs it's own color story, yes, color is the main
driven source for me to paint.

Sunset over Village of North Shore

I am refering to a painting I made in January.
A couple of days passed after snow in the village, the weather was warm enough
to melt snows in the ground, the sunset was very strongand that makes most of
the earth colors brownish colors...and I was fascinated by these colors from
years ago, that is why I am keep going back to study these colors from time to
time, I think there is unlimited possibilities in creating new colors and
artists need to adventure and practice more about colors. Anyway, continue
to prior story, the reason why I keep put emphasis on colors is that I think
these new colors give me happiness and if others feel same way, that will be great !

Morning Lake

This paintings is about how to effectively record this given moment with colors and brushstroke,

that eventually lead into a piece of poem and mystery.

If I choose good subject matter, I feel like I am learning a lot,

I like this particular piece because there is a lot of element

within one color source, and I like to play with colors and

lights...., Sunshine and shadows are good source of inspiration.

Moon over Twilight Cloud

I want to make a point here, I do not want to capture exactly what I see from nature,
but I would rather capture some sort of things that I desire.
people does not need to copy nature or photograph, but use them to achieve something that no other
people has done, they can do that by simply painting everyday with a little bit of inspiration.

My source of paintings are around me, a lot of things from my daily life.
All those things give me inspiration by different timings and reason.
I love exploring our life with my colors and brushstroke,
this lead me into somewhere better place.

Stormy day July 2010

I was walking through beaches nearby and here comes a storm, a dark cloud
approaching this way..within 5 minutes the color of this beach was changing
from yellow to dark blue and rain pouring from sky to the land and sea,
it was powerful color change and I felt the power of nature, at the same time
I got an inspiration from this changing colors and the huge energy coming from
the sky, I made several sketches and this painting is call " Stormy Day 2010"
