Unlike previous painting, I used warm background to generate more complementry
color effect, I believe these complementry color effects are not always neccessary,
only certain situations like this, but I think it can be achieved the other way around.

Again, I try to use different angle to study effectiveness of abstract image, the abstract
image means how much you satisfy with a painting, the power of a piece painting
comes from the effectiveness of abstract.

The reason why I do not try direct abstract is that it could be baseless and decorative,
acually I studied abstract painting for years when I was in college for Masters degree,
it's tempting and looks good, but does not give me enough reason to do that.

Another words, I am looking for new painting but not by the method of direct abstract.

Manhattan Evening

Here, I have different approach, first, I use much close up layout, so I can generate
more fresh impact, and I had to use a lot of layers, warm colors and
cool colors back and forth to give enough depth of tone.

I am trying to achieve something never seen before, I will express myself by painting
everycorner of Manhattan street, let's see how much I can satisfy myself with new
colors and brushstroke, I truely believe every corner of Manhattan street could turn
into a piece of poetry.

The lady represent positive aspect of our life and a little tricky side also, dark shadow
from automobile in front symbolize sad and dark side of our life.., little yellow lights
represent our hopes for the future, red light symbolize warning sign for our life..

All these explanations are not neccessary, if you do not feel anything from this painting,
I am just trying to achieve something new with different angle or mentality in terms of
figurative painting is concerned. Speaking of figurative painting, I would say I use material
but I never copy or anthing, another words, I am looking for abstract effect  anyway,
I believe most of great artist is looking at that measure as well.

I am looking for something unusal colors or outcome from our ordinary daily life.

A man was cleaning snows in front of a store, this maybe one of the most common
daily life story, but when I input some colors and brushstroke, it looks very charming,
I am also looking for abstract element and geomatric composition when I actually paint,
that effort makes painting only better, Here comes yelow Taxi, the yello Taxi is one of
the simbols of New York city, color itself gives painting strong complementry effect.

The lesson from this painting is again about the color, I can always create colors
based on subject matter, there is no such thing as decisive snow colors or winter color,
I can just start to paint the color I like, and think about details later.
