A window view from our bedroom

Though painted this view numerous times now, it still captivates me whenever I pulled up the curtain and see the intense light and color outside.

Another oil sketch from our backyard before sunset

In the light of a late winter afternoon

It is so cold outside. Does not take long for the oil paint gets almost frozen solid. However, the light of winter afternoon is just so beautiful that I just can not resist the temptation from the nature.

Winter morning before the sunrise

It was still a dreamy winter wonderland outside! It was breathtakingly beautiful outside at 8 a. m when I opened the door and started this quick oil sketch before the sun start to wake from its wintry slumber.

In the last glow

So hard to stop painting even though it was really cold. Another quick oil sketch before my oil paint and brushes  got frozen solid.

In the last glow

Winter afternoon from our front yard

It is so exciting to paint outdoor even though my hands are numb with cold! How could anyone not to be excited when nature orchestrates  such beautiful light and color in front of your eyes! It is the same kind of awesome wonder and excitement that surges through my heart whenever I catches a glimpse of a bright start twinkling  in the night sky. This painting will be my two thousandth one since I started my a painting per day project on November 11, 2003! Can not believe so many years have passed quickly and quietly when deep in my heart core, the same ardent and passionate pursuits  for anything beautiful in my life never fade away  but burn as bright as ever before.
