Still Life Study 060425

 

I really enjoyed my quiet time. By alternating painting and researching, I let my heart to decide what I do. I did this one a few days ago. I am pondering if I should move my still life painting into a different direction.

QH Art Studio 2026 Workshops

 

June is the month I plan the events for the coming year 2026. I feel the time goes by much faster now than a few years ago. As usual, I will travel quite a lot and teach workshops all over the country. I also invite a few top-notch artists coming to Austin to teach. I know it is still early to register workshops for the next year, but it is always good to take the opportunity as early as possible. I am pretty sure the time will go even faster after June 2025. When I was in science, we took for granted that time is constant. Now I am in art, all the rules are made to be broken.

Lavender Lilies

 

Keep on posting my Wayne paintings. This plein air piece was done at Chanticleer, an astonishingly beautiful garden in Wayne. When I got there, I saw a few giant tanks full of water, and the water surface was beautifully decorated with floating flowers. The gardener who did this must be a great color designer. She used the left over flowers from pruning the flower beds, and created the beautiful arts of color. So I had no choice but painting them.

The plein air festival has ended, but I still have quite a few paintings displaying at the Wayne Art Center. If you are happen to be in or near the area, please go and check them out.
