Here's one of the first oil painting I attempted. It's a simple still life of some glass objects and sea conch. I'm surprised it turned out alright as I had no idea what I am doing. However, the mystery of translucent objects has evaded my hand in this painting. I hope to attempt this some … Continue reading Glass with a Sea Conch Still Life Painting

I did this digital painting of a stone wall in the garden a while back as an assignment for landscape course. It was an interesting experience as I never tried to paint a "cutout" of the world before.

This time I was watching TV show called Lucifer, and I ended up drawing a portrait of detective Chloe. I think it's a great way to practice drawing portraits because I'm able to see … Continue reading Detective Chloe Portrait

It may grow back, but does it have to be this way? This work began during the raging fires in California and Australia, and then the pandemic hit. The creature represents all of these events. Deep wounds take time to heal, but there's a glimpse of hope symbolized by the crystals on Forest Guardian's body. … Continue reading Forest Guardian – Polymer Clay Sculpture
