Winter Conversation

There is no snow in ground yet, but she is anticipating snow today, this lady
found something new dress while talking to the phone, and she is planning to
go shopping this weekend, and the other lady is taking a break after half mile
jogging along the street,
I realized that winter time is very cozy and romantic, because winter has
some element of coziness such as warm lights from show window, coldness
outside, especially these beautiful ladies around, and expecting hot soups
from local deli, ok, winter has attraction of it's own.

There is a lot positive signs everywhere in the streets of New York city,
I probably have a chance to get down to one of those café in downtown Soho
and have a cup of coffee soon..

Pink Bike and Facade

 

The Reason why I decided to paint this scene is that this has the kind of

charm that only New York city can have, such as the colors of Façade,

stone walls, that involves some antique colors, I would say " a Little bit of

Nostalgia...", I like to play with these element of deep stone or jewel colors,

because that's what drive me to paint, and if there is a little bit of sunlight,

I would say it's a little hazy sunshine, not like bright sunshine hitting us.

 

Of course this little pink Bike from someone definitely adding additional

charm in this painting, so at least, I am showing some colors of New York

city somehow.. 

Bike and Restaurant

There is a restaurant made of wooden structure, it becomes nice brown tone,
when afternoon sun is hitting the walls of this place, apparently, Restaurant is
open because cozy light is on for the day,
Inside, delivery man is waiting for their order to be shipped,
Probably this bike is going to the new destination.
I found this scene really charming, so I decided to paint, while I am
painting this subject matter, I found something else, there is a lot more
colors than I thought, I can even break down all the color spot with
different color spot, that's exactly what I am trying to do in the future,
and I also found structural abstract quality in this painting, too.

This location is from downtown Broadway, New York, by the way.

Streets of Soho

Of course, we walk by shops of Soho almost everyday, a lot of times we
forget to realize the beauty and attractions of this town, and when you are
working in Manhattan, NY, I am sure you understand what I am talking about,
you are busy with work and I am busy with my own work, but one day,
You see an artist painting of the same boring street, you realize that there
is something positive is going on. Suddenly you can see that this town
is valuable and there is certain colors that no other city can show us.

What I am trying to do is to get the essence of the city by painting as many
piece of New York as possible, hopefully, one day, people realized that
this whole process is very meaningful..

New York Sunlight

 

 

 

I am sure a lot of people including you noticed the sunlight hitting the walls on street,
I was impressed by that strong sunlight, usually last about an hour, but I felt like
this day was extra colorful, full of yellow tone, this light source is becoming
very important element of my painting.
What I am trying to do here is that making a colorful story out of Manhattan, so
these people on the streets come to real life.
Of course, I am not trying to catch exactly the moment, I am trying to make a
beautiful Poetry out of daily life.

Saturday Evening

Almost toward Sunset, this lady was apparently heading to a party, because it's Saturday
What makes me feel interesting is that I felt like there was certain colors at that moment,
of course, an artist can create colors of their own, but the truth is colors are impressive,
only the whole process of creating a mood is impressive enough to others who views
a painting. In order to make good painting, I first painted with brown tone first,
and then, I tried to adding up interesting colors, and see if the mood is following,
my method of painting is Bold Brush and then finish with palette knife.

Morning Shop Open

It's just one of those pleasant day, when I was walking around New Port shopping
district, I encountered this beautiful lady going into her shop, it's one of very
routine moment of our daily life, but I witnessed a glimpse of inspiration
coming from morning sunshine, I am sure all others felt the same way I did,
from here I know what I have to do, take couple shots of photos and go
for painting, the difference of original painting is that it captures the moment
such inspirational and colorful way so what we sees in our life gets very valuable.
And, those brushstrokes and texture give you extra vivid moment !

Extraordinary Night

There was time we all talk about what is going on in the city, so I was only 10 or 12 years old,
we used to play soccer after school in the afternoon, and we used to go out a little after dinner
for a walk, I felt everything surrounding me was positively mysterious.., there was people
walking around looking something romantic, there was show window lights here and there
attracting people !
, and a crescent moon that evening !
Everything was mysteriously beautiful and cozy !

And here I am struggling to make ends meet everyday decades after all those Dreams !
