ZINNIAS and SWEET PEAS, Watercolor Painting Still Life, Flowers
Another Print Sale of this painting! Warm and intense colors were chosen to depict the intense heat of summer! I often watch with amazement at the reaction of flowers to the heat from the sun. The petals are delicate and thin as our skin but yet thrive in the condition that I have to put a hat and a lot of sun cream on!.. how do they do that? I have not a clue except some descriptive science!

ZINNIA SONATA (8), Watercolor Painting Summer Flowers
Flowers stand out more in a vase because their environment or surrounding change. The usual contrast or competing colors of other plants are removed. Putting them against a dark window in the evening creates an intimate sense...At the end of the day, I like to stare at them alone in the evening in the warm light as the day fades away. I love to hang on to every summer day as long as I could so I can have a double summer! :-)

ZINNIA SONATA (7), Watercolor Painting Summer Flowers
The intense contrast in nature is part of the excitement of the season. How we perceive colors is a personal experience and a personal interpretation when we put the impression down on to paper or canvas. In many cultures, there are believes that flowers were sent to earth to fight darkness. Just look at the flower shops everywhere. They are a concrete evidence!

ZINNIA SONATA (6), Watercolor Painting Summer Flowers
I love all expression of flowers, budding, blooming and dying. The process of making colors under the heat of the sun is a bit like the process of painting. It is exciting to see a blooming flower. It is exciting to see colors on paper (in my case, it's watercolors!). This helps to explain I like nature so much! I always want to see more of nature in progress!

ZINNIA SONATA (5), Watercolor Painting Summer Flowers
Different light condition of the day give different tone to the colors. Colors in flowers and colors in the universe are very close. I look at the colorful universe and think of a flower garden with fascinating light. I see a universe inside flowers and flowers in the universe. The colors on earth indicate something toward eternity?... this made every little life on earth perfect and complete. Every little cell has a complete system!

ZINNIA SONATA (4), Watercolor Painting Summer Flowers
Zinnia bloom can be double or single or mix and their color range and pattern keep expanding. Expert gardeners keep adding more varieties to this amazing flower species. I noted that it seemed only planet earth generate flowers and up to now it seems human exists only on planet earth. The same planet as the flowers! On that thought, human and flowers are truly for each other. Looking at the flower industries around the world, we know human finds comfort in flowers and flowers depend on human to perform at their full potentials!

ZINNIA SONATA (3), Watercolor Painting Summer Flowers
I like to see the process of flowers, budding, blooming changing forms. The good summer heat help to perfecting the flowering process. The colors, pure and intense with the heat and light create total effect. I am amazed the sensation from these flowers coming through the eyes are strong enough to fill the mind and the whole body. I always feel totally happy with moments like those. Transferring the experience into a painting, I stay in the middle of realism, impressionism and expressionism. sound complicated and confused... It's the way I tried to say I painted from what I saw to how I felt and add some fascination to it!

ZINNIA SONATA (2), Watercolor Painting Summer Flowers
I use bright flowers and sun light to see colors and what they do to the mind. Zinnia is one of the flowers I grow for summer. Strong stem, bold form, large range of striking colors make them stand out. I used to sit quite close to admire them in the summer heat until my eyes came to a saturation, my heart felt a buzz. I turned away and felt like half drunk. A formal word for this effect is, I call it, summer and color sensation. This Sonata series was created to describe the impact of blooming zinnia in the summer heat on me!

ZINNIA SONATA (1), Watercolor Painting Summer Flowers
I refresh my sense of colors every season by contact with nature. By color theory, colors do not stand alone. They have rhythm, vibration .. in contrast, enhancing, harmony or random mode.. I thought about Van Gogh with his sense of colors and the Dutch massive flower fields or Monet with his garden. Flowers are my favorite source of exciting colors!
I created a color sense series, Zinnia Sonata, of eight small paintings recording a dance, a visual musical theater of colors of zinnias, the flowers spread out at different height different tone, different colors like a piece of music notes of the master nature.

THE RISE OF TIGER LILIES, Watercolor Painting and Drawing Flowers
I love the expression of Tiger Lilies. Like a tiger in the bush these flowers shoot up from nowhere. They have the most glamorous curves, graceful manner to greet the summer sun. They often gave me pleasant surprise! I used the illusive softness of watercolor and simple tone to capture the profusion of the plants and wonderful features of leaves, buds and flowers

COSMOS AND THE BUTTERFLIES, Watercolor Painting and Drawing Insects and Flowers
What can a butterfly see? Leaves, buds, flowers, seeds, coming and going are all the excitement of a flower garden life cycle and the butterflies with wings like flying petals! I tried to see beauty beyond colors. The other reason was I wanted to put more and more like life in the garden in abundant and does not have an end. Everything in a A4 size. Amazing what a small piece of paper can contain! The whole world of the butterflies with all intricate details! I think the picture summarizes the butterfly vision! :-)

RED BLOSSOM FOREVER, Pen and Watercolor Drawing and Painting Figure FineArt
I had an old red blossom in the garden. It has sharp thorns. I like the tree when it sheds leaves and has flowers. Where I grew up I had never had a chance to live with anything green. Let's alone a garden. A red blossom tree is definitely out of reach. Thank to the love of gardening of the local I got one at last. To understand the love of the red blossom in many cultures, I used to put my head into the tree to feel the buzz of the blossom. I grew fond of it. Every time when I pull my head out of the tree, there were millions of kisses in the air. Then I look at the flowers they were lipstick red. They look like the kisses!! Love is in the air! You might have noticed the air is always fresher in the garden!!

THE RARE ORCHID, Pen and Watercolor Drawing, Painting Figure, Fineart
I used to admire the beauty of the orchid in the garden center. I always wish to spend an eternity to look at them but it was not possible. This admiration went into my subconsciousness One day I sat with a piece of drawing paper then I set go. With my mind I drew with a pen and a brush because I wanted the fine, crisp details that can only be created by non- eraser-rubbed surface and the ink or watercolor. I wanted the fine sophisticated details and I wanted a tone of them without muddling them up. I wanted to retain the delicate and freshness of an orchid. A touch of the pen or the brush.. it's final. No adjustment! no rubbing! no going back! I kept going for hours until I felt I needed to stop... I think this describe the technique given to me by the "Rare Orchid".... Enjoy

THE JASMINE SEA, Pen and Watercolor Figure Fine Art
Occasionally I like to dwelt into a buzz of creating something out of my head. This pen and watercolor work was done after I came back from a walk. The wild jasmine and the sea view of the path were so good. I pulled out a brush and a pen and let go. Here she is, the princess of the sea! A day dreamer like me! Enjoy!

ROSE HERITAGE GARDEN,Watercolor Painting Flowers and Garden
Parnel Heritage Rose Garden was full of blooming flowers. This is an ideal time and place for a day dreamer. I wasted no time but set to paint. The added pair of butterflies told the story of searching souls. At the far end, they met and turn into human and had a wonderful life! The profusion of white bridal roses over the pergola effecting the atmosphere! soft clouds and blue sky took the beauty of the garden further away as my mind journeyed through the painting process. The painting was SOLD soon after. One day I would love to day dream again! Enjoy!

THE INVASION OF TALL FLOWERS, Watercolor Painting Home and Garden
I love tall flowers, the way they rise up from the ground and bring beauty to your eyes. Sometimes they peep through windows and invite you outside. When you get outside, you are welcome with a sea of colors, fresh air that bring you a smile. That's how I think about dealing with stresses and strains!
