Painting Six: Multnomah Fall

Multnomah Fall is the most favorite place which my family and I would like to visit. So many times, we hiked through the bridges and followed the winding roads to the top of the waterfall… Last summer, I was so touched by the familiar scenery. I painted this painting at the foot of the fall. So many visitors enjoyed watching me creating this piece…

Painting Seven: Music of Nature (Silence of Sound)
My family and I hiked the Gui Bei Mountains in the mid summer of 2002. The waterfalls hitting on the rocks produced a wonderful melody. As you can see, there are two waterfalls, the big one is rushing through from the center and the little one is meeting with the big fall from the right hand side, just like two musicians playing the songs together… The sunray is peeking through the layers of the dark green summer foliage and shines the top of waterfalls… I want you to “hear” the sound and melody through his silent painting…

Painting Eight: My Little Town

Late summer 2006, I returned to this little town with my artist friends in the suburb of my hometown. We did many field trips and created many wonderful landscape paintings which are full of heart-stopping beauty & transcendent spirituality. For me, painting is a form of meditation. This painting was created in the early morning before the town waked. The black-proofed & white-walled village buildings were hiding behind the banana leaves. The creek was peacefully running through. The laundry deck was quietly standing along the bank and prepared for the housewives to come down from the stairs….

Painting Nine: Peaceful Li River

The Li River is one of the most famous rivers in China which is winding through the whole city like a silver ribbon. This is typical scenery of Guilin. Guilin is an evergreen city since it rains 9-10 months a year. In the spring, it drizzles and fogs a lot, which seems like someone casts a thin layer of veil over the whole city. Moving your eyes from the bottom to the top, you will see trees are decorated with green buds and new grass starts to cover the river banks; two fishing boats are floating along the river bed; the fog is rising from the foot of the faraway mountains… Moving you eyes from the left to the right, you will discover a tiny old village hiding among the trees and rocks. You can feel the peaceful river from the clear reflection cast on it… This painting offers inner peace by imagining yourself in the fishing boats...

Painting Ten: Wetland of Herons
Herons often have been spotted in the Northwest wetlands. A fabulous wetland of herons was depicted in this painting.

The spring breeze wakes not only the thousand-year-old trees but also the grass along the river bank. The forest is filled with the songs of birds and other creatures. The creek is full of lives as well. Even I did not paint one fish, you can imagine there are tons of them in the creek from the busy hunting herons and a fishing boat which was just undocked from the bank.
