Plein air painting of Fish Pond in progress

24cm x 19cm
Oil on canvas
It's the third weekend in Taipei. As usual, we stay on the mountain house of my parents. I did this plein air painting this morning. It's a small painting but it takes longer than I thought. Its not finished yet.... the sun was burning and I couldn't go on. I'll continue tomorrow morning again. Probably it will need one more hour.

Visited Taipei Fine Arts Museum

This afternoon I visited Taipei Fine Arts Museum with my two kids and my niece. At the end of the visit, I did this drawing at a corner of the museum. It wasn't finished yet.... It was a corner of an open space for everyone who wants to express themselves with drawing papers, color pencils and pens. I did enjoy it. I was working amount the children and probably I was the only adult who dared to do it! It was fun.


One of the exhibitions we visited at the museum was "Looking Glass - Daniel Lee retrospective" He's really good!!!

Plein air of Trees and Yiang-Ming Mountain

24cm x 19cm

I think the composition of this plein air is a little too complicated so I simplified it by focusing almost only it's color, light and shades. I do like its background, light mountain color but I'm not very satisfied with the trees. Sure I'll do another plein air with this view again.


Plein air of the Promenade of Yiang-Ming Mountain

This is the second plein air this morning. I do love its variety of colors but I haven't pushed far enough the mountain. Its color is supposed to be lighter. It's a quick sketch. It took me only an hour. Now that I'm looking at it, I think it's a bit over worked.

Every time when my kids and I visit our families in Taiwan. We love to stay at my parents mountain house every weekend. The mountain house is located exactly on the center of the Chieu-Gieu Lack (竹子湖) Yiang -Ming Mountain, Natinal Park. This is the second weekend on the mountain. The Typhoon Nepartak just left Taiwan but leaves vast of rain clouds. Luckily it wasn't raining this morning. I woke up early and did three plein airs. Feeling great to go back to my routine!

I'm at my parent's mountain house at the Yiang-Ming mountain in Taipei, Taiwan. This view will be my next week's plein air subject.
