🐟 🌱 . Arowana pot. Oil on linen. 16 x 16 x 1.5 inches . . . . I remember one hot summer afternoon in a remote town in Vietnam, my family and I were visiting my distant uncle who had this one dragon looking creature in his aquarium tank. He said the strange looking fish was a silver arowana, meant for good luck and prosperity. I think I stared at that thing for at least an hour. I also remembered there were slices of mango chilled with ice cubes to go with our bowl of rice. . . . . #art #painting #oilpainting #plant #artistsoninstagram #artistsofinstagram #artsy #dailyart #artoftheday #artgram #instaart #artcollector #artwork #contemporaryart #contemporarypainting #fineart #abstractart https://www.instagram.com/p/CCMuA22hORW/?igshid=1665pzrf48e0p

The beginning of this painting start with the bottom right corner “green” which I kept asking myself if the “green” looked sour enough. And along the left side are the green windows that seem very acidic in the light. Needless to say green is hard. . . Sutter’s Fort.

Ocean Beach Trail (San Francisco). Oil on wood. 10 x 8 inches One last painting to finish out 2019. It’s been a year with many changes and the learning never ends. Unlearning is difficult. I get in my own way with old bad habits of perfectionism and preconception. I simply don’t know and that liberates me to explore further. Here’s to another year looking ahead.
