Calm Before the Storm

Calm Before the Storm (Acrylic on canvas 24”x48”x1.5”)
Inv# 76-20160901 AC
Herbert Chow

It was another gorgeous day with light warm breeze, calm waves, crystal-blue waters and soft, powdery white sand at South Sea Island, Fiji. Time stood still as I got groggy on a hammock while balancing a mojito in my hand. In a distance, a storm cloud was gathering steam with full intention to spoil my lazy and carefree afternoon. Luckily it was still at a distance from this small patch of island paradise. I had enough time to finish my drink and a refreshing nap.

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.

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.

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

Visit Galleries to see individual panel

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.

Terraced Rice Field (Acrylic on Canvas - 3 panels 28" x 22" x 1.0" each panel)  by Herbert Chow

Visit Galleries to see individual panel

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.

Rise of Planet Earth (Acrylic on Canvas 3 panels 28" x 22" x 1.0" each)

by Herbert Chow

“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.

Although I titled this painting “Thousand Bubbles”, there are actually close to 10,000 bubbles altogether. “Thousand Bubbles” is the first number in my Order and Chaos Collection.
