Me Cafeteria




Me   Cafeteria


Me Cafeteria

Looking outward of the window    Sunny day
The focus of the blaze from the car
Sucking intensely........
As if, I was getting into the end of the time tunnel    Faraway

Look
The body became a river    drilled into that impermanent rock
Uproar swimming away from my ear    Said...
BE QUIET    silencing a long narrow way

An emotional unattached Tearing    slightly skimmed that enamored sky
Thus    scattered all over the floor     in exchange for un-soreness bashfulness
Recognizing      a remnant     loosened in the corner of a wall of a white linen

Continually

Without counting

Continually 

Tearing

(I first wrote this poem in Mandarin 18 years ago in sitting in a corner of a cafe in Taipei. Later I translated it in English about 10 years ago in Belize... I am not sure if this is the final version in English... )

Portrait Study#31 Arianne in Progress

oil on canvas
Charming eyes she has!

Portrait Study#30 Miyazaki San

oil on canvas

Thank you, Miyazaki san for posing for the study. It comes out nicely! This study only took me a little more than 4 hours in all... I think the first day is the key day. If the first day work came out good, the second day will be a piece of cake! But, again, sometimes, you never know....By the way, Miyazaki san looks much younger with this sports shirt. Nice blue! I am very pleased to have him as my sitter.

Study#26 Felix Finished this morning! We finished around 10am because I've painted most of the part yesterday! Good job!



oil on canvas

The reason why Mr. Felix's face looks a little troubled is because one of his eye was bothering him on the first day while sitting for the study... I liked its face expression so I kept it... Haaa..."it seems a little annoyed"! ; ) Oh! there's a joke I would like to share. On the first day, the draft looks much older than he is so I said, ' Mr. Felix, don't worry, I am going to paint you younger...." I like this joke!!! It's a new one.
