Calm Before the Storm

Calm Before the Storm (Acrylic on canvas 24”x48”x1.5”)

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.

Taking Off (Acrylic on wood 7”x9”x0.75”)

Herbert Chow

Haliaeetus albicilla is a white headed (i.e. bald) and white tailed sea eagle that can be seen in coastal areas of North America. The brown plumage suggests that this is a young bird. In this early morning, it is a graceful sight to watch this impressive creature take off from his nest high up in the ancient woodland and swoop down to snatch its prey out of water with tremendous accuracy and great speed. Acrylics on wood showcase its features in rich textures. This artwork comes with installed hardware for hanging on your wall.

A Gusty Day

A Gusty Day (Acrylic on wood 16”x24”x0.4”) by Herbert Chow

The buildup of heavy dark clouds at Kona Coast (Hawaii) was a sign of incoming storm. High winds stirred up rough surfs and gave palm trees the undeserved flagellation. I saw nobody at the beach that day. Not even a single bird in sight.

There are treasures in every sanctuary. Here, I left my heart with God at the hidden blue lagoon under the waterfall.

The Other Side Of Harbor (Acrylic on canvas 48”x25”x1.5”)

A kingfisher beats a pelican to the punch. He finds a perfect spot for dinner behind the rocky shore. Under the moonlit sky, the city skyline put on a splashy show with sparkling neon lights. In this painting, I incorporates scenes both above and below water.

By The River Bank

By the River Bank (Acrylic on canvas 24”x48”x1.5”) 
Herbert Chow

Blue herons like to forage in calm fresh waters and slow moving rivers. They often hunt silently along wetlands, or seen flying high over tall trees. This quiet river bank provides a shelter and a safe nesting ground for blue herons. The slow flying Blue Heron with its great wing span is a majestic sight. The very slow wingbeats, tucked-in neck and trailing legs create an unmistakable image in flight. In this evening, the soft moonlight shines brilliantly over the flowing stream and illuminates forest and shrubs on both sides of the river.

Storm Passing

Storm Passing (Acrylic on canvas 38”x48”x1.5”)
by Herbert Chow

Clear sky, fleecy clouds and bright moonlights have chased away the dark heavy storm clouds. Although winds have died down significantly, the sea is still a bit rough and vestige of tall waves are whitewashing the rocky shore. Three eagles are delving the shoreline for food. We survive another storm.

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.

“First Morning Light” is a rendition of the magical moment in a birch forest when the soft glow of first morning sunlight starts to filter through the dense wood.

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.

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.

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

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.
