"Waiting for Coffee" --- Sold


I did this painting before I went camping near Rock Port, TX for two days. You can see I changed the background color from my usual way. As a personal preference I like dark background on a painting a lot, but now I get a little tired of it. I like the change on this one.

  1. Qiang, I like the background color, really like the orange red cup and saucer. Don't know if I would have placed just one grape there but your paintings always seem to work. Barb

  4. qiang, i subscribe to you blog and enjoy seeing your paintings. i really like that you went out of the box with the lighter background, it was a nice change of pace and really lends a different quality to the overall feel. i am always captivated by that marble you use!

  5. nice brevity or limiting of brushwork to that which is essential, coupled with wonderful color and value work.

    Like your style...

  7. Qiang, I dig your painting. Your use of color is very poetic and intelligent. Your brush strokes are also very playful but sophisticated, they structure your compositions well. I have a question that I hope isn't too personal. What colors are usually on your palette?
