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.

Closing of a quiet summer day with a beautiful sunset and light reflection over water.

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.
