This Year is flying by…..

It’s been such a great year for me, I have been able to do almost everything I had wished for. I have painted portraits and abstract paintings of things that I thought I would never do. But you always have to paint what the clients want. It’s been great, I have learned so much about shipping prices and used tools I have never done in the past. Thank you for supporting my love for art.

Christmas is one of my favorite Holidays!!! It’s the most expensive holiday, yet we all just wanna make others happy, doesn’t matter the price. My favorite buys are embroidery hand bags for loved ones. Everyone can always use a new hip bag. The other favorite gift is lanterns, it is given that someone needs a lantern to put candles in!

Wow, It’s almost Spring!

I’ve been working so hard on putting this site together, I don’t even know what day it is anymore! I’ve added more artisan gifts on this site because I believe that this site is all about the “Arts” in our lives so I’m committing to adding a little spice here. I’m sorry if some of the pages don’t have prices yet, I’m still rearranging everything. It should be done by the end of March! Thanks to everyone who supports me!

Unique Gifts!

When you are looking for a gift for that someone special, always try to look for something unexpected or something that the person love but mix it up a little. “Unexpected Love”, that’s what I call it. Don’t forget to leave a little note, it shows that you care and took the time.

Oil painting vs Acrylic painting

admin — Tue, 19 Oct 2010 04:15:20 +0000

Through the years of painting, I have been using so many different techniques to paint and advance my strokes to blending colors on canvas. I had notice that working with oil is so much easier to blend colors as long as it’s not dry. With acrylic paint, it dries so fast which makes you work faster. But you have to be an advance student or else the paint start to clump up. I do really love using acrylic because it dries fast and I don’t have to worry about waiting since I am always on a deadline. SOOOOOooo, acrylic painting for me is a must most of the time. Tell me what you think! Write the comments @ the bottom of the page.

Artwork framed and ready to go!

admin — Sun, 10 Oct 2010 08:15:23 +0000

I do have some artwork already framed, but if you want to buy artwork that doesn’t have framing and you want it framed. I do it pretty cheap. The frames are high quality, I just don’t charge the price that retailer shops charge. If you have any questions about framing just ask and I’ll give you a quote. You will be very satisfied or it’s free!

Scroll painting

admin — Fri, 08 Oct 2010 05:37:42 +0000

I’ve been working on this scroll painting for some time now. It’s really different from painting on canvas, the texture is delicate because it’s rice paper and you can’t afford to make a mistake with the watercolor paint. It is so fragile, yet so elegant. Must take years for this technique to be polish. I’m very careful and committed to making this piece beautiful!

Summer vacation is over!

Hello everyone, I took some time away from painting to build my studio in the basement. Yes, finishing the basement is quite hard and time consuming. I hope that everyone is well. The basement is still not finish yet, it’s like a painting in some ways. It will probably take another 2-3 months until it’s fully finish. I can’t wait to see it done, it’s gonna look great and give me some room to paint. My family will have the kitchen back! lol.

Abstract Painting

I just got a piece finished last weekend, it is posted in the front page called “Wine”. I can’t wait till my client gets it, she is gonna love it. I was thinking about recreating another one without the grapes, I added the grapes on the painting to give it a little more contemporary look. It turned out pretty cool looking.
