Sketche at Wesley Church

8.9cm x 12.7cm
Pencil on paper
I did these sketches while waiting for my girls' orchestra rehearsal at the Wesley Church at Belize City tonight. I do feel a little guilty that I haven't post any new work of mine for almost a week. It's still Easter holiday here in Belize. Although I can't wait to start to work again, I do try to spend time with my kids and maybe a bit of time off for myself too.

Poem Morning Sun

Morning Sun
By Yaoling

Woke up with
Golden ray of morning sun,
I showered into it.
Feeling your hundred hands touching my body,
Your lips kissing mine softly...

Chelsea with her Violin in progress

37cm x 52cm
Oil on canvas
It's the second time that Chelsea poses for me. I thought I could finish this work within three hours this morning but no. Tomorrow we'll continue for another probably 2 to 3 hours. I really want to get her skin tone right but I don't want to overwork either...

25 yrs ago Nude Study

57cm x 76cm
Oil on canvas
This is one of my old work back to 1991 or 1992 when I was living in Paris, France. I stayed 4 years there and most of the time I worked on nude drawings at L'Académie de La Grande Chaumière. This is a studio work based on my life drawings. There were three individual drawings. I put them together and did this oil color study. Including several pieces of my sculptures, most of my work from that period of time were lost.

Sketches

Duties call and I couldn't paint for 4 days. Here are some of my sketches I did at the 501 Spoken Words night laterly. (501 is a special space that has been developing by Margaret Reynolds where writers can share their voices and visions.) I love to go thete. Not only share my words but I can draw these wonderful people whenever I feel like to. 



I did this sketche at my daughter's orchestra practice. I love these talented young musicians. Feeling so home!  When I was living in Europe, except nude studies, I was basically only working with Jazz musicians. Oh! I do miss my Jazz friends and their wonderful music!

A quick sketch in the afternoon

27cm x 35cm
Charcoal pencil on paper
I have no idea the name of this street. I do know the tall building is called the Renaissance. I drive through this place everyday to my girl's school. Everyday!!! This afternoon, while listening to heavy metal that my daughter gave me, I parked my car, sitting comfortably inside of my car sketching this familiar scenery.
