I am so happy coming back. Now I am able to post on my blog myself. Thank you Eric (my brother in Canada) for helping me posting all my Beijing photos. When I was in Beijing I did several small paintings. I didn't post them because I didn't want to overburden Eric in spending too much time dealing with creating auction pages. To facilitate my daily painting in my parents' place was a big challenge. It took me several days to setup. I got only under a half of a desk area for all my painting activities. Two shoe boxes were used as the base for my setups. I used toilet paper to wipe my brushes since I simply didn't know where to buy paper towels. Lighting was a big issue. I wasn't able to find simple incandescent light bulbs more than 40W. Painting under this condition made my really appreciate the luxury I have in America, and I was so proud of myself being able to hack a quick-n-dirty way to keep my art going.
This is wonderful, sir. ( I think I would be out of the compliment words for you someday, since your arts are more than awesome. But I just want you to know that there's someone in the other corner of the world like me love your art. :D )

ReplyDeleteWelcome back! Glad you are home safe. Sounds like you worked very hard to keep painting in a difficult "studio". I admire your tenacity. I would have been tempted to give it up.
