Some of my work done in Belize City, Belize ( from 2006)

study

sketch of a landscape I did

Somewhere around the Western highway, Belize. I love its color....you can almost smell a scent of dried leaves and feel moist air floating in the air.

still life

small clay models /studies

somewhere near the Chateau Caribbean Hotel

Red Sea. Somewhere near the sea side of Princess Hotel.... It was a late afternoon when I drove by....It was so quiet but you could feel time's going to change in any minute. Yes, there's a storm coming. I did a quick sketch. Then, voila, this is the studio work. It takes me back to the scene every time when I look at it.

Every time when I drive my kids to their piano lessons, I always like to stop by a few minutes on the sea side of Bottonwood Bay. It's a beautiful place to contemplate....I cannot help myself but to stop the time and make them into my memories. 

My younger brother, Johnny who lives in Taipei has it now. I gave it to him as a wedding present last year. This piece is the first seascape I did and  is one of my favorite amount my works so far....It is somewhere near the Bottonwood Bay ... After several sketches,  I actually went back to the scene many times just to capture and feel that strong sensation I had from the first time when I saw it....It is all about a feeling, a click...

Some of my work done in Paris, France(1991-1994). Many are lost. In this period of time, I practiced all of my drawing nude with living models at Academie de La Grande Chaumiere near the Montparnasse. It is a very old artist studio for drawing nude. Great memories.

Some of my work done in Salamanca and Barcelona, Spain. (1989-1991) In this period of time, I had my most adventurer, exciting, great encounters in my life. It was full of jazz, red vine, Spanish smoked ham, food, joy, and precious friendships....Mmm... Las Ramblas! I can almost feel my heart aches and longs for it again....

That's Terry playing flute up front. He's an excellent flutist. I still have a tape of his music...and the back is Franches, the pianist. I used to share a studio/apartment with him and his wife, Aurora. She is a great dancer...I wonder if she still dancing... They looked after my cat when I moved to Paris. They had a large dancing hall, and I used it as my working space.

This is Aurora dancing Framingo. It is one of the series of work. Total 3 pieces. After my sketches.

I don't remember where exactly I draw it. Maybe is the Jazz bar next to my apartment in Salamanca where I discovered my first live Jazz music..... then I fall in love with it desperately til now... It was a underground cave, but, there, I had the most stunning Jazz music and drawings.....That was something I'd never found it again!

I think they are playing some slow Jazz.... very calm

Do you feel the vibration of that guittar......

This sketch I did probably is the group of Peruvian musicians playing their traditional music in Las Ramblas or near the Cathedral. They sometimes add a violin... Great people I met too.

I draw a lot of sketches.... love doing it but only when the music touches me...

My parent has a series of this period of work. They're hanging on the hall wall of their living room with a spot light on top of each of painting....They certainly are happy to be there.

Peruvian musician. One from the 3-pieces-series.
