Autumn Dialogs

Autumn Dialogs (Acrylic on canvas, painted on all sides, 35" x 25" x 1.5") by Herbert Chow

Fresh cold air, orange pumpkins, rustling maples and cascading leaves on ground are hallmarks of Fall. Autumn marks an end of a season and gives some trees their well deserved rest ahead of another busy year. Migratory birds can easily be found on bare trees. Of all the migratory birds, Black-&-White Warblers are most numerous and diverse during Fall. In general, males Black-&-White Warblers have black markings in their throats. In this painting, two males are competing for the attention of a female warbler. Although the male Black-&-White Warblers at the lower branch is making a lot of noise, the female warbler seems to be giving him a cold shoulder with her eyes fixated on the male sitting to her right.

In this painting, faint moonlight dances lazily on bamboo leaves and culms mimicking the fluttering wings of a flying robin.

Yuanyang is famous for its spectacular terraced rice fields. Terraces, cut deep into steep mountainous terrain, have been used to farm rice for thousands of years. After the rice harvest, farmers flood the terraces in preparation for the next planting season. The water in the fields reflects sunlight and generates spectacular colors separated by crisscrossing ridgelines. At this evening hour, there is only a single farmer remaining in the field. The high clouds accentuate the vertical dimension while the distant ridgelines at the flat plain create great depth perception.

I love winter and snow. The voluminous trees, snow covered paths, sweat smell of pine and crisp chill air are my collection of winter romance. On this quiet winter morning after a snowy night, the dog and its owner go on a leisure walk in the enchanted wood. There is a sense of serenity in this painting.

The colossal trees and the vibrant clouds stand tall as defenders of the forest to safeguard the pristine snow-covered path and its sojourners. Multiple layers of crisscrossing branches form a giant 3-D puzzle and allure one’s mind deeper into the forest. The dusky sky is ready to shed its violet cloak of the night and take on a brilliant bright blue color of a new winter day.

I was sitting quietly in the backyard enjoying a serene and tranquil Saturday morning. A rapid, chirpy, undulating but melodic warble from a songbird caught my attention. Peeking over the fence, I saw a warbling vireo talking softly to its mate in my neighbor’s yellow rose bushes. The romantic moment gave me goose pimples.

In “Pillow Talk”, the male vireo obviously has a captive audience whispering a love song into the ear of his partner. The female turns her head and responds with an attentive stare in a very romantic way. The abstract silhouette of an old oak tree and surrounding luscious green shrubs add high contrast to the yellow vireos and yellow roses in the foreground.

The soft moon light illuminates the fully blossomed rose adding to its grace and gentility. The moon shadow paints the edges of the pink rose with white, violet and blue highlights adding a touch of melancholy to the happy mood usually associated with pink rose. That is the feeling of LOVE!

Yellow hooded orioles are commonly found in the west coast. They like to forage in bushes and shrubs and feed on nectar. Here, the two orioles are playing in the rose bush and showing considerable interest to the budding yellow rose. The birds, young green shoots, red leaves, and rose bud take the center stage of this painting. The light reflections and rose bushes are drawn in layer to increase depth. The contrast of yellow and red bring warmth to a bright spring morning.

This painting depicts farmers working in a rice field at daybreak. The spectacular morning sun has just broken out from the horizon. In early Spring, farmers start the planting season by flooding the terraces in preparation for ploughing fields and sowing seeds. The water in the fields reflects sunlight and generates spectacular colors separated by silhouettes of retaining walls.

I love fog. It is captivating, mystical and healing at the same time. Dense fog on the Golden Gate Bridge is a typical summer weather pattern in the Bay area. The two sea gulls appear to sense the incoming evening fog and make a dash to get away from it. Low clouds covering the San Francisco coastline often accompany dense fog in summer evening. The low hanging clouds regularly bring high winds and chill air so familiar to residents in the area. All of a sudden, I have the urge to bundle up.

Manhattan Bridge is known for the stunning views of the Lower Manhattan skyline and, of course, great variety of graffiti on the rooftops of Chinatown. At the sea level and up close, I also marvel at the gorgeous sturdy design of the bridge metal infrastructure. At this early hour, only a handful of pedestrians are seen. The dense fog cloaks the early morning sun, reduces the surrounding buildings into overlapping silhouettes, and makes the towering bridge deck more impressive.

Eiffel Tower is a cultural icon of France and one of the most recognizable iron lattice structures in the world. There are many images of the tower taken from all sides but the “belly” view is kind of rare. I draw the well-lit tower from a low angle accentuating the height of the structure. The thin, wispy blue cirrus clouds in the background are in high contrast with the brightly lit and muscular iron tower. Pedestrian traffic under the tower is quite sparse at this early evening hour. In this painting, there are definitely more pigeons than humans.

I am inspired by the intense and mesmerizing stare of Romani dancers during performance. Of course, nobody else can do that better than the great Gypsy Queen, Carmen Amaya. In this painting, I try to incorporate determination, rhythm, sensuality, drama, intensity and shrewdness into the lady’s eyes. The veil accentuates her attractive eyes and red lips. The abstract background symbolizes flowing music and rapid motion of dance steps.

Vortex (Acrylic on Canvas 3 panels - 24" x 20" x 1" each panel)
by Herbert Chow

This is my abstract interpretation of one of the forces at work in maintaining order and chaos. Centripetal force of the vortex in the center causes the yellow and blue streams to move in a curved path and finally intersect and mix with the white stream before they exit to the right. The three chaotic and turbulent color streams are placed in the foreground with a backdrop of orderly circular objects in the background.

Graduated terraces, cut deep into steep mountainous terrain, have been used to farm rice and other crops for thousands of years in Asia. In early Spring, farmers start the planting season by flooding the terraces in preparation for ploughing fields and sowing seeds. The water in the fields reflects sunlight and generates spectacular colors separated by silhouettes of retaining walls. Reflection is not always continuous because terraces are set at different heights and angles following the contours of the mountain. The evening sky in this painting shows a magnificent sunset with a full color spectrum just a few minutes before twilight.

“Dandelions “ is the third painting in the Order and Chaos Collection. After the yellow petals wither and fall off the stalk, dandelion is covered with a ball of white pappus seeds. In this painting, I keep the dandelion seeds in minimal colors of white, purple and blue. The darker blue-green background adds to the feeling of a gusty and windy day. Dandelion seeds are blown away even with a slightest breeze. These chaotic aerial dancers will soon take hold and sprout into another orderly crop of beautiful yellow flowers.

“Rise of Planet Earth” is the second painting in my Order and Chaos Collection. The relatively calm blue planet stands out in a sea of gaseous, volatile and primordial display of celestial planetary objects. As random as it may seem, the painting shows plenty of orderly events that follow physical laws even though their implementation may appear chaotic at time.

New York at Dawn (Acrylic on Canvas 35"x 25"x 1.5") 

by Herbert Chow

“NYC at Dawn” is the first of 6 paintings out of my City Skyline Collection. Stay tune for my rendition of "Hong Kong at Sunset".

Cloud formation, wave and fog are my favorite abstract objects. All these elements are present In this painting. At this early hour, NYC is still shrouded with a thick grayish marine layer concealing the ground of the Statue of Liberty Monument. The early sun casts a hazy yellow highlight on the city skyline through the marine layer. Above the marine layer, I draw the sky using different shades of cerulean and light blue giving hint of what to come after the fog is gone. The yellow highlights in the marine layer serve to connect the Statue of Liberty and the Freedom Tower (in the middle of the skyline) with a resilient spiritual link between them. This is the dawn of a new day in NYC with Statue of Liberty and Freedom Tower leading the charge.

It is easy to say "anyone can paint abstract". You will get a different color of abstract painting by watching Michael Lang at work. It is fair to say that anyone can generate abstract objects on canvas but few can master this art form and create beautiful masterpieces that impact heart and soul.
