Timeless


This is an oil on canvas painting measuring 61cm by 76cm. I name it "Timeless". Maybe you can think of the three horses as the 'past'(blue), the 'present'(crimson) and the 'future'(yellow).Why it is painted thus is up to you to interpret.

Cats



Sometime this year, I read a news article about an elderly lady who worked very hard to keep stray cats in a rented bungalow. I started to visualize the cats in her garden and thus painted what you see here, "The felines in a garden". The painting may appear illogical but it's only my expression.

When a wave encounters a cliff face


When a wave encounters a cliff face or steeply sloped beach, the resulting impact causes it to bounce back (as light reflects off a mirror) and reverses its direction. The outgoing wave, known as backwash, often slams head on into the incoming breakier, warping bizarre mutations in thewave face and flingingsheets skyward. This oil painting is done on plywood board (48cm by 61cm) and the reference photograph was taken by Steve Hawk. Painting was done sometime in January 2006.

Arowanas again


This is another painting depicting arowanas. Actually it was completed before the other one which was posted previously. I wasn't satisfied with the result, especially the background so I did some touchup yesteday.
