A little girl just arrived at the beach, she couldn't wait to get into the fun with that cool water!

Below is few of my snapshot of the painting process, it is not that professional, but is very fun to review the different stages of the process.

"Urban Pedestrians" -- DPW "The Crowd of People Challenge"

Urban Pedestrians

6 x 6"

Oil on 1/8" thick Gessobord

Sold

It was so complicated from the beginning to the end of the painting process, I had to went back to read Carol's challenge description many times to remind me of keeping it simplified. Every time when I try to paint loosen up more, it seems like that I was in a rush, but I was not! Thank you Carol for this interesting photo.

I have this photo taken few years back at local art festival. When I saw DPW's weekly challenge is to paint "The Crowd of People", decided to chose it as my entry. Such perfect timing to do a demo in the crowded art show, what a confident artist with his great marketing strategy! I am glad that I captured the special moment, made him a major element into my crowd.

"Outdoor Girls" -- DPW "The Cow Challenge"

Outdoor Girls

6 x 8"

Oil on 1/8" thick Gessobord
Sold

This is my first time painting the cows, thanks to Carol Marine sharing the beautiful picture! Also I want to mention the change of my signature on my painting, it was a great advice from an artist that I met through DPW, she recommended me to sign my last name on the painting, it would be more formal and recognizable in the future. I really appreciate your suggestion, Susan! So here it is, my first time signature changing with my last name included on the painting. Hope everyone likes it!

I took this photo at local art show few years ago, two girls were more interested in the fish in the pond instead of the arts on the display. I suddenly captured this beautiful scene, they are just the art in my eyes!

Here Fishy Fishy

6 x 8"

This is my submission to the reflection challenge. Thanks to Leanne for the photo reference, it is a great practice of painting reflections with those ripples on the water! It is much harder "task" than I thought!
